Asbestos Exposure Linked to Mesothelioma

Asbestos exposure can have deadly consequences and has been linked to various cancers including mesothelioma. Asbestos is a naturally occurring, fibrous material which is easily separated into thin, microscopic threads. These fibres are strong, flexible, heat resistant, do not conduct electricity and perhaps most importantly to the thousands of company who have used them, is very cheap. As a result, industries have long recognised the desirable properties of asbestos and various materials and settings. Unfortunately, the dangers have also been evident.

From the industrial revolution through the 1980s, many companies used asbestos in thousands of applications and products. Consequently, workmen and consumers alike have been exposed to toxic properties and even now are at risk to develop asbestos related diseases.
