================== ARTICLE START ==================

Mesothelioma cause refers to the thing or event responsible for

mesothelioma cancers. Mesothelioma is a cancerous disease of the

lining of abdominal organs, lungs and heart. Almost all the

cases of mesothelioma disease somehow or the other are linked

with exposure to asbestos particles. Exposure to asbestos

particles could cause mesothelioma even if the level of

exposure is very low. Studies reveal that about 70 to 80 % of

total mesothelioma cases have a history of asbestos exposure

thereby identifying asbestos as the single largest mesothelioma

cause. Occurrence of mesothelioma without any history of

exposure to asbestos particles is very rare.

Some Facts about Mesothelioma Cause

Asbestos exposure is the only known mesothelioma cause.

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals. It

contains strong and flexible fibers. One can separate these

fibers in to thin threads. Commercial use of asbestos started

in late nineteenth century. It was widely used because of its

durability and ability to withstand high temperatures. Asbestos

was widely used in brake linings, cement, roofing shingles,

textile, flooring, insulation and many other industrial

products. Small asbestos particles remain suspended in the

course of manufacturing of these products. Asbestos workers,

their family members those residing near asbestos manufacturing

industries could easily inhale asbestos fibers that could cause

mesothelioma and other asbestos diseases.

The biggest mesothelioma cause is the negligence of asbestos

manufacturers. Manufacturers continued using asbestos even

after being aware of its harmful effects. They did not issue

any warnings or take necessary precautions to prevent asbestos

exposure to the workers. Had they been sincere in their

responsibilities, many people suffering from mesothelioma and

dangerous asbestos related diseases would have been healthy and

happy.

Smoking Increases Mesothelioma Risk

Experts are of the opinion that smoking in itself is not a

mesothelioma cause. Nevertheless, it increases the risk of

pleural mesothelioma – the mesothelioma of the linings of the

lungs. Studies have revealed that smokers with asbestos

exposure have an increased mesothelioma risk when compared to

non-smokers with similar exposure to asbestos particles.

Preventive Measures against Mesothelioma Cause

Studies have reveled that family members of asbestos workers

have suffered with mesothelioma. The mesothelioma cause in this

case is the asbestos dust particles settled on the clothes,

shoes and hair of the asbestos workers that their family

members inhaled. Workers should shower and change their

clothing to avoid the possibility of exposing family members to

asbestos particles. Workers should also put on protective

equipments to reduce the risk of asbestos exposure.
