What is asbestosis and how is it different from mesothelioma?

question mark What is asbestosis  and how is it different from mesothelioma?My husband died from asbestosis contracted when he was between 21 as well as 25 in the Merchant Navy. The disease does not show itself until much later. He was in his 70's when it was diagnosed. It is inflammation of the lungs which is caused from inhalation of asbestos particles. Mesothelioma is a tumour of the lining of the lungs or another organ again with the alike initial cause.
