Asbestos is a toxic substance that causes severe illnesses. Mesothelioma is the most serious and fatal disease caused by exposure to asbestos. Most frequently, exposure occurs through work, although second hand exposure to family members and the general public also occurs. Anyone who has worked in the following jobs is at an increased risk of exposure and asbestos related cancers:
- Firefighters
- Ship Builders
- Construction, maintenance and repair workers
- Custodians
- Mechanics
- Plumbers
- Electricians
- Insulators
- Builders
- School personnel
Mesothelioma is a cancer caused by inhaling or ingesting asbestos fibers, which then become lodged in the lining of the abdomen, chest or lung cavities. A long latency period between time of first exposure and development of symptoms of mesothelioma make the disease hard to diagnose and treat. Mesothelioma is most commonly diagnosed in people over 50, and only after it has reached advanced stages.
Many mesothelioma cases are caused by occupational exposure. Companies, manufacturers, and employers failed to inform and protect workers against exposure to asbestos despite knowing the high health risk. Many workers have dies as a result of such negligence, often leaving family members behind. Loss of earnings, loss of life, and high costs for medical treatments should be compensated for by negligent employers and manufacturers.
