Is Asbestos the Only Thing that Causes Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos. It is not known how much or for how prolonged a period is required before you are at risk for Mesothelioma.
Many people that were exposed to asbestos earlier in the century have already died, from mesothelioma or another cause. Since asbestos has been outlawed for many years, there is not normally an exposure problem at this time.
There are still many buildings and structures that have asbestos in the building materials. This is not necessarily dangerous until the building or structure is modified or torn down. When the asbestos is exposed, touched or moved, it emits more particles for the victim to breathe causing many lung problems including Mesothelioma.
