Many manufacturing plants, factories and shipyards have been involved in the usage of asbestos. Workers may have been exposed on a daily basis without even knowing it. Whether the contact with the asbestos was direct, such as transporting the substance, or indirect, mesothelioma could result from exposure to this harmful substance.
Mesothelioma is a rare type of case that is associated with asbestos exposure. This form of cancer develops in the membranous lining of the lungs, chest cavity and abdomen. Unfortunately, most instances of malignant mesothelioma are fatal.

Exposure to asbestos is the only known cause of mesothelioma. There have been cases where an individual has mesothelioma but had no known exposure to asbestos. Though they may not know there was exposure, they very well could have been exposed to asbestos without knowing it. Other types of illnesses can result from asbestos exposure as well, such as asbestosis and different types of cancers.
Since asbestos is the only known cause of mesothelioma, individuals who have worked with or around asbestos are the most at risk. Also, family members and other individuals who have lived with a worker who works with asbestos may also be at risk, as asbestos can be on clothing and other personal items of the worker.
