Mesothelioma caused by second hand exposure to asbestos is a significant problem that we have to deal with numerous times per month.
(PRWEB) October 08, 2013
The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "Mesothelioma caused by second hand exposure to asbestos is a significant problem that we have to deal with numerous times per month. Typically the victim reports never having worked in an environment that exposed them to asbestos, but ends up with a diagnosis of mesothelioma. We ask them about any family member possibly bringing home asbestos on work clothing. After that, we ask what type of work the family member that brought the asbestos home did. Nine times out of ten, we find out that this family member was exposed to asbestos in his/her workplace and unintentionally brought it home on their work clothing."
According to the American Cancer Society, "Millions of Americans may already have been exposed to asbestos. People at risk for asbestos exposure in the workplace include some miners, factory workers, insulation manufacturers and installers, railroad and automotive workers, ship builders, gas mask manufacturers, and construction workers. Family members of people exposed to asbestos at work can also have an increased risk of developing mesothelioma because asbestos fibers can be carried home on the clothes of the workers."
According to the CDC, between 2,500 and 3,000 individuals in the US will be diagnosed with mesothelioma this year. Of this group, one out of three mesothelioma victims are Veterans of the United States Navy. Another one-third worked at a oil refinery, factory, shipyard, power plant, mine, manufacturing facility, chemical plant, railroad, city or county municipal water district, or as a plumber, electrician, construction worker, welder, boiler technician, or auto brake technician. http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
