Mesothelioma is a deadly cancer which is fairly rare although in the last few decades the number of people who have died from it have dramatically increased.  Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos without sufficient protection.  When a person is exposed to asbestos, he or she inhales tiny asbestos fibres which are suspended in the air.  These fibres pass into the respiratory system and end up becoming lodged in the lungs.  An accumulation of asbestos fibres in the lining of the lungs like this can cause nearby cells to deform and eventually leads to what is known as pleural mesothelioma.  Accumulation of asbestos fibres in the peritoneum (lining of the abdomen) can lead to peritoneal mesothelioma and build up of fibres around the tissue of the heart can cause pericardial mesothelioma.  Asbestos fibres reach these places over time or because they have been transported the ...Read More

Since it is usually diagnosed only in its final stages, by the time a person has been confirmed to suffer from this form of malignant cancer, considerable damage has already occurred to their internal organs.

So, it is common for the worker to get affected in mesothelioma during or after their tenure of working for few years. The prolong exposure to dust cause a kind of hazardous coating over the mesothelium membrane and eventually lead to lungs cancer.

It is also common for those asbestos industries as they do not make their workers aware of the hazards exposure and as a natural corollary they widely flout the safety and precaution rules.
