Cause of mesothelioma
Nearly everyone has been exposed to asbestos in the air and water in small amounts, from deposits in the Earth and in products in the places we live and work and breathe.
Asbestos disease or abdominal mesothelioma has been documented as the result of evenminimal exposure, affecting family members of workers who came into contact with asbestos and brought it home on their clothing, skin or hair.
In the late 1970s the Consumer Products Safety Commission banned the use of asbestos in wallboard patching compounds and artificial ash for gas fire places, and in 1989 the Environmental Protection Agency banned all new use of asbestos.
Unfortunately asbestos is still imported, still used and still dangerous.
