Man diagnosed with mesothelioma from inhaling asbestos fibers at work

The Cameron Herald has published a story on a man who was diagnosed with mesothelioma from inhaling asbestos fibers at work. The man had worked for an aluminum plant for more than two decades.

He was diagnosed with asbestosis, a scarring of the lungs caused by inhaling asbestos fibers, in 1982. Twelve years later, at the age of 59, he began experiencing difficulty with breathing and later learned that he had mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the thoracic cavity. Mesothelioma is directly caused by asbestos exposure.
