In recent news about the dangers of asbestos exposure, a retiree died of mesothelioma after making asbestos gloves and other produts for more than 30 years.

The man, 70, had worked with the toxic asbestos material at a tool-making factory for decades before dying of ephithelioid mesothelioma in January.

He worked in a factory for more than 30 years where tools were made and he was intimately involved with asbestos.

The retired dispatch manager supplied materials around the factory in which asbestos gloves were made.

When the gloves were no longer usable the fibers became brittle, often breaking off, and were handed back to him to pack into a box.

While working there, three buildings at the factory were knocked into one, with the thick asbestos roof being smashed up in demolition and left lying where he was working for three months.

Mesothelioma is the cancer of mesothelial cells which cover the outer surface of the lungs and, less commonly, the abdomen.

Many who worked in the manufacture of asbestos-containing products such as asbestos gloves have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.
