Understanding Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer that affects the protective lining of the lungs, abdomen, and heart. This disease is primarily caused by asbestos exposure, a naturally occurring mineral once widely used in construction, automotive, manufacturing, and shipbuilding.
- Asbestos Exposure Occurs when microscopic asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested, leading to serious health complications later in life.
- The Latency Period: Mesothelioma has a long latency period and can take decades to develop after the initial asbestos exposure. This makes it challenging for victims to pinpoint the precise circumstances that led to their diagnosis.
- Victims at Risk: Mesothelioma can develop due to asbestos exposure in various settings, such as construction sites, factories, shipyards, and mines. Many victims are unknowingly exposed in their workplaces, homes, or during military service.
