Did working with asbestos cause mesothelioma or another asbestos-related cancer?

According to the government, working in jobs with asbestos is the major risk factor for mesothelioma.

A history of asbestos exposure in people's jobs is reported in about 70 percent to 80 percent of all cases.

Asbestos has been widely used in many industrial products, including cement, brake linings, roof shingles, flooring products, textiles, and insulation.

If tiny asbestos particles become airborne, especially during the jobs related to the manufacturing process, they may be inhaled or swallowed, and can cause serious health issues.

In addition to mesothelioma, exposure to asbestos in jobs increases the risk of lung cancer, asbestosis (a noncancerous, chronic lung ailment), and other cancers, such as those of the larynx and kidney.

Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure from their jobs or secondary exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.
