Mesothelioma is a cancer of the lungs associated
with exposure to asbestos. In addition to the lungs,
it can effect the lining of the abdominal cavity or
the pericardium surrounding the heart.
Mesothelioma is uncommon in the general population
with the exception of workers exposed to asbestos.
Mesothelioma
gets its name from the mesothelium sac where the
cancerous sells can be found. The cancer is a
malignant disease that gets its start from inhaled
microscopic asbestos fibers.
Most of those diagnosed with Mesothelioma worked at
jobs where they were exposed to asbestos fibers or
asbestos dust. Asbestos used to be a component
of home insulation, brake shoes and some cement
compounds. Workers installing, or renovating
homes containing asbestos insulation or asbestos
cement and people coming in contact with clothing or
equipment covered in asbestos dust were at risk of
contracting Mesothelioma.
Today, asbestos has been banned in products that
might lend themselves to asbestos fiber or dust
exposure.
