Former construction worker diagnosed with mesothelioma

It has been reported that a former construction worker was diagnosed with mesothelioma at the age of 56.

The diagnosis was a shock and a surprise because he went to visit his doctor to receive help in quitting smoking. As part of his check-up, the doctor took an X-ray of his lungs and found that the lining of a lung was covered in malignant tumors. Mesothelioma was determined to be the cause.

The former construction worker could not recall where he was exposed to asbestos. He had worked in construction for some time earlier in his life. It is likely that he was exposed to asbestos when he was working in the construction industry. Asbestos has been widely used in the construction industry because it does not burn and insulates well.
