Asbestos is a fibrous mineral used in manufacturing products in different industries. Different varieties of asbestos are chrysotile, crocidolite, amosite, anthophyllite, tremolite, and actinolite.
To help prevent exposure to asbestos containing materials, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) set limits for acceptable levels of asbestos exposure in the workplace.
Asbestosis, Lung Cancer, and Mesothelioma are the most common asbestos related diseases.
Any person who works with or around asbestos containing products is at risk for an asbestos related disease. The families of those who work with asbestos products are also at risk if proper care is not taken to remove all fibers from the skin and clothing.
Mesothelioma is a cancerous disease that affects the mesothelium. The mesothelium is a membrane that protects many internal organs in the body. Cancerous cells develop on the mesothelium. Most cases of malignant mesothelioma begin in the pleura (lungs and chest cavity wall lining) or peritoneum (abdominal cavity organs). Cancerous cells can spread from their original site to other tissues and organs.
Shortness of breath and chest pain are the two major symptoms of mesothelioma.
Symptoms can occur within a short period of exposure or up to 50 years after exposure.
Mesothelioma usually starts in the lungs and/or chest cavity. It may also originate in the abdomen and heart.
While the there is no cure for mesothelioma, there are numerous treatments available today with hope for many more in the future.
Mesothelioma is a disastrous, yet preventable, disease. Asbestos companies have valued profits over human lives by intentionally not disclosing all hazards to their employees. These companies need to be found liable to help prevent others from the same torturous fate. Is there a limit of how long a person with mesothelioma may file a law suit? Most states have statues of limitations which limit how much time victims can initiate legal action.
