Asbestos & Mesothelioma

What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a strong, dangerous fiber that was used many years ago for insulation and fireproofing purposes.  When a person inhales or swallows asbestos, he/she may be exposed to a variety of diseases, such as mesothelioma.  Other diseases attributed to swallowing or inhaling asbestos are asbestosis (chronic lung disease) and cancer. 
 
What is Mesothlioma?
Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that results from prolonged exposure to asbestos.  Mesothelium is a very thin, double layered casing that protects each person’s vital organs.  Mesothelioma adversely affects the membranes that line the chest and abdomen.  When the mesothelium is damaged, a person may have difficulty breathing and moving.  At this time, the only cause attributed to mesothelioma is asbestos exposure.  Mesothelioma is a life-threatening illness that can lead to long-term medical complications.  People who have mesothelioma will need continual medical treatment and care from physicians, specialists, and medications.
