How Can Asbestos Exposure Cause Mesothelioma?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has intrinsic properties making it ideal for construction and industrial development. The mineral is durable and has natural resistances to flame, heat and chemicals, and these properties made asbestos a mainstay at construction sites for decades.

Sadly, asbestos is also made up of microscopic fibers that can easily be inhaled or swallowed by anyone who is exposed to airborne asbestos. This can and has occurred quite frequently, as asbestos-containing materials that are abrased, age or are disturbed in any other way can lead to asbestos in the air and environment. Such exposures most often occurred at jobsites until asbestos was ultimately banned in the 1970s, but older homes also tend to contain asbestos.

Once the asbestos enters the body, it can remain for life since the mineral is so durable and long-lasting. It is at this point that asbestos can slowly gestate into mesothelioma or other harmful diseases like asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis. All these diseases can be fatal, and indeed more lives have been lost to asbestos exposure in California than any other state.

Asbestos Exposure in Sonoma County

It is estimated that nearly 500 Sonoma County residents have passed away because of exposure to the harms of asbestos. If you or a loved one has worked at a Sonoma County jobsite that exposed workers to asbestos or have reason to believe a responsible party caused your exposure, speak with a Bodega Bay mesothelioma lawyer to find out whether you deserve legal compensation.
