Asbestos in adhesive poses risk of mesothelioma and other cancers

Emulsion adhesive has been used in roofing tiles, floor tiles and other materials. Around the time of World War II, emulsion adhesive contained asbestos. Asbestos is a carcinogen and is known to cause serious illnesses like lung cancer and mesothelioma.

People who have worked with emulsion adhesive are at risk of developing mesothelioma. Since there is no safe level of asbestos exposure, one who has worked with emulsion adhesive is at risk for developing mesothelioma regardless of how briefly he or she worked with emulsion adhesive.
