New article on occupations most likely to cause mesothelioma

Mesothelioma.us, a website that is devoted to offering people helpful resources and information about mesothelioma, has just posted a new article that takes a look at which occupations are most likely to cause mesothelioma. Titled "Asbestos Jobs Causing Mesothelioma," the article explains how working directly with asbestos is the most common way to develop the serious health condition, which attacks the lining of the lungs, stomach or heart.

From miners and construction workers to shipbuilders and many other professions, the article on http://mesothelioma.us/ points out that due to a lack of understanding about the dangers of asbestos, many workers were put in harm's way.

It is also possible to be exposed to asbestos at home or in the office. Many homes still contain insulation lined with asbestos that can become dangerous when it opens up or people handle it without proper safety equipment.

People can also develop mesothelioma after being in direct contact with the clothes that someone else wore while being around asbestos.

"There are numerous cases of spouses of miners and construction workers who have developed Mesothelioma from breathing in the fibers that their husbands or wives brought home with them from the plant, mine or construction site," the newly-posted article explained, adding that if that person worked in the insulation industry at a time when asbestos use was at its peak, then they have a much higher chance of developing this deadly disease than others who may have had minimal exposure to asbestos fibers as a result of their daily working activities.

Fortunately, special programs have been created that recognize the symptoms of the cancer and that offer support to those who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma.
