What is Asbestosis?

How Is Asbestos Related To Mesothelioma?
The only known cause of mesothelioma in the U.S. is when a patient has had previous exposure to asbestos dust or fibers. Manufacturers using asbestos knew about the hazards of asbestos many years ago - but kept this knowledge to themselves. The first warnings to workers exposed to asbestos fibres came in the mid-1960s, and were terribly inadequate. Even today, workers are often kept 'in the dark' when working around asbestos and are at risk of mesothelioma.
