Asbestos, Mesothelioma, Etc.
March 9, 2009
I posted an article written by Asbestos.net that might be interesting if asbestos is a concern to you. Here’s a snip:
Mesothelioma is a from of lung cancer that is almost always caused by asbestos exposure and is most commonly found in the outer lining of the lungs (called the mesothelium.) A majority of the people who develop mesothelioma contract this cancer through breathing in asbestos fibers or being exposed to asbestos dust while on the job.
In cases where mesothelioma is found in a person with no previous occupational exposure it is thought that the exposure may have stemmed from asbestos fibers found on the clothes of someone in their home or workplace who worked in an area where asbestos dust was found.
the rest >> Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
While I think that much of the flap regarding asbestos is generated by trial lawyers and people looking for big payoffs there really is a there there and many people really have come down with serious asbestos issues. It is certainly stuff you do not want to have in your lungs. Asbestos.net looks like it has a lot of good info if asbestos is a concern of yours, so check out the article.
