How asbestos creates mesothelioma?

Malignant mesothelioma is caused by asbestos exposure.
Many people with malignant mesothelioma have worked or lived in places where they inhaled or swallowed asbestos. Other risk factors for malignant mesothelioma include the following:
• Living with a person who works near asbestos.
• Being exposed to a certain virus.
After being exposed to asbestos, it usually takes a long time for malignant mesothelioma to occur. There is a latency period of 20 to 50 years or more between initial exposure and development of the disease with the average being between 35 and 40 years. Rare instances have been documented when the interval was less than 20 years.

The incidence of mesothelioma rises with the intensity and duration of exposure to asbestos. However, there are numerous cases of mesothelioma among people with very little occupational exposure or even household exposure. There are cases of people getting mesothelioma 30 or 40 years after a summer job working construction, and cases of housewives or children being exposed from work clothing. Many people being diagnosed with mesothelioma now were exposed in the Navy many years ago, often unknowingly.

Mesothelium in general is the name of tissue that forms lining of different body organs such as heart, lungs, abdomen and reproductive organs.

What are the symptoms of mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma may not show any sign until 30 or 40 years. It is very difficult to find out in early stages.

There is a packet of information available at Mesothelioma Help that does a good job of explaining the causes and treatments for malignant Mesothelioma. It also includes a medical dictionary, journal and record book to help you keep track of appointments and treatments.

Mesothelioma is mostly caused by publicity to the carcinogen known as asbestos fibers. It appears mostly in some older homes built around 1970's and lately it can be found in repair shops and industrial materials. These kind of disease takes a long term exposure of the substance to make someone at risk, and it has been known to cause mesothelioma cancer. However the good news is I heard about some companies that are improving their ways and applying new applications regarding to these kind of problem companies like Asbestos Removal in San Diego are embedded to their duty to help our community and educate homeowners and prevent these kind of malignant mesothelioma.
