Mesothelioma Causes
What causes Mesothelioma cancer?
Cases of Mesothelioma can virtually always be linked to some type of asbestos exposure. Such exposure could range from actually working with asbestos on a daily basis (as with old insulation) to having worked or lived in places where asbestos was used in the original construction and has subsequently been transmitted into the air to be breathed in or swallowed.
Even though asbestos was discovered to be a carcinogen in the 1920s (meaning that it was determined to be a cause of cancer in humans) the use of asbestos as insulation throughout the construction industry remained common until the 1970s. This means that many companies were negligent or unconcerned regarding both their employees and those who would live and work in the buildings they constructed.
Why and how asbestos fibers cause this disease remains a mystery among medical professionals. The number of fibers that are necessary to instigate mesothelial development (be it one or a multiple dispersion) is likewise unknown. But that such fibers seem not only to be the cause of the initial cancer's development, but also an agent in its continuing diffusion is virtually undeniable.
