LISTEN OUT FOR MESOTHELIOMA

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that most often occurs in the lungs. The most common cause of mesothelioma is the inhalation of asbestos. Asbestos is a material that was once widely used in the construction and manufacturing industries. Asbestos was used to fireproof, insulate, and strengthen products. Repeated and sustained exposures to asbestos increase the risk that a person will develop mesothelioma. In many cases mesothelioma does not occur until years or even decades after the exposure to asbestos.
