How Does Exposure to Asbestos Cause Mesothelioma?

Asbestos exposure is caused because of exposure to a naturally occurring mineral called asbestos, which was commonly found at military, industrial and construction sites throughout the 20th century. The mineral was prized for its durability and natural resistance to heat and chemicals, but the mineral’s durability turns toxic when ingested by humans.

As asbestos-containing materials age or are disturbed by drilling and similar processes, microscopic asbestos fibers release into the air. It is at this point that they can easily be swallowed or inhaled prior to entering the body. Then, asbestos inside the body begins the slow, steady process of turning into mesothelioma, asbestosis or asbestos-related lung cancer.

All three of these diseases caused by asbestos exposure can be fatal, but it can take decades for asbestos to turn into cancerous mesothelioma. This fact makes mesothelioma particularly difficult to diagnose and subsequently treat. Worse still, some research indicates that asbestos may never leave the victim’s body once it enters.

Due to these dangers, asbestos was ultimately banned from use, but the sometimes decades-long latency period of mesothelioma and the fact many older homes and buildings still contain asbestos make the mineral a continuing threat. Indeed, thousands of lives continue to be lost to asbestos-related diseases each year.
