Asbestos And Mesothelioma
Asbestos
Asbestos is a mineral that has excellent insulating or heat shielding qualities and has been used in a variety of materials. It is also inexpensive, easy to work with and is abundant. Its applications include products such as insulation, cement, brake pads, shingles and flooring, as well as a number of other uses. Asbestos becomes a problem when it is damaged or disturbed in some way and the fibers become airborne.
Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that attacks the protective tissue around the lungs. This tissue also protects other organs, like the heart and abdomen. Because of this, mesothelioma will spread rapidly to other parts of the body via the protective tissue. If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or any asbestos related illness it is crucial that you contact a Nationwide Asbestos Mesothelioma Lawsuit who has experience with these types of cases.
