If
you ask whether mesothelioma cancer could infect you easily in your
workplace I could answer yes right now. Maybe you should already knew
what mesothelioma is by reading this article. But if you didn't I will
give you quick brief now.
Mesothelioma
is uncommon form of cancer, usually attack the pleura (the lining of
the lung and chest cavity) or the peritoneum (the lining of the
abdomen). Mesothelioma cancer caused by prolonged or persistent
exposure to asbestos.
Unbelievably
but true, recent studies showed that it is believed that even
insignificant exposure to asbestos in environments such as asbestos
mills, mines, shipping yards, some older Navy ships or even patient's
homes can result in mesothelioma cancer.
Now
you know that the main reason for mesothelioma cancer is asbestos.
Asbestos is the single biggest work place killer today. People who
have worked with the material are at serious risk from developing lung
cancer, asbestosis and mesothelioma, fatal respiratory illnesses that
debilitate their victims.
Most
people who suffer mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled
asbestos particles. You should be extra careful if you are: miners,
factory workers, insulation manufacturers, railroad workers, ship
builders, gas mask manufacturers, and construction workers,
particularly those involved with installing insulation.
Not
only you could be infected but your family too. Several studies have
shown that family members of people exposed to asbestos at work have
an increased risk of developing mesothelioma, because asbestos fibers
are carried home on your clothes.
