Asbestos Causes Mesothelioma – Cancer of the Lung Lining

Asbestos is the major cause of mesothelioma in the United States. Asbestos is a mineral that occurs as a long thin fiber in the environment. Until the 1980's, when it was banned due to its health hangers, it had been used in many industrial and insulation materials as a fire retardant. Some of the jobs in which people have been exposed to asbestos directly or indirectly are those that involve factory work, demolition, insulation, shipbuilding, carpentry, installation of brake linings in vehicles, and many others.

Asbestos is a Serious Health Risk

You may be visiting our website because you have been recently diagnosed with a health concern related to asbestos. Such conditions include mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer.

Between 1940 and 1980, and estimated 27 million American workers had an occupational exposure to asbestos that could affect their health, says the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Asbestos has largely been banned in America, though some products containing asbestos have failed to be blocked from sale by current legislation. Therefore, there continues to be a risk of exposure to asbestos.
