Mesothelioma does not just happen. It is not a random disease. Rather, it has definite causes with the primary being exposure to asbestos dust and fibers. Exposure to asbestos in any way can lead to an eventual diagnosis of mesothelioma for those who lived or worked in an environment contaminated by asbestos. This includes:
- Firefighters
- Mechanics
- Electricians
- Plumbers
- Naval veterans
- Shipyard workers
- Construction workers
Another factor contributing to an increased risk of mesothelioma is smoking. Though cigarettes, cigars and tobacco pipes do not cause this disease, they can increase the chances of developing mesothelioma in those who have had asbestos exposure.
If you or a family member has had significant exposure to asbestos through environmental or workplace factors, it is vital to schedule regular visits with a physician to monitor your lungs.
