Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that primarily forms in the lining (or “mesothelium”) around the lungs, heart, stomach, and/or testicles. The only cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring group of minerals. Due to its heat-resistant nature as well as its natural strength, asbestos has been widely used in a variety of products around the world since its discovery in the late 19th century.
Common asbestos-containing products include building materials, cement, insulation, plastics, textiles, and paper goods. Talc powder products also commonly contain asbestos.
Unfortunately, exposure to asbestos is extremely harmful to humans. When disturbed, asbestos releases microscopic fibers into the air, which can then be inhaled or ingested. Once these fibers enter the body, they can become lodged in the mesothelium lining around the lungs, heart, stomach, or testicles. This, in turn, can lead to the development of cancer cells.
The dangers of asbestos exposure have been widely known since at least the early 20th century. However, the asbestos industry has never advertised or warned consumers about these dangers. It wasn’t until the 1970s that the dangers of asbestos exposure were recognized and some restrictions were put in place. Currently, asbestos is not completely banned in the United States. Minimal amounts of asbestos can be used in all types of consumer products.
