| Mesothelioma Symptoms |
Asbestos poses one of
the greatest air quality threats today. Once highly valued as an
insulator, contractors used asbestos in virtually all older home, office
and school construction. Today asbestos remaining in these buildings
poses an even greater risk, as its age and condition allows the fibers
to fragment into particles that can suspend in the air and enter the
body. These particles then gradually irritate internal tissue until
Mesothelioma forms.
|
|
|
Pleural Mesothelioma is the most common type of Mesothelioma, a rare cancer that develops in the lungs. It is almost solely caused by exposure to asbestos, which was used in everything in children’s toys, house-hold insulation, and naval carriers.
