Risks for Mesothelioma include Tobacco and Exposure to Asbestos Fibers
Research indicates that tobacco and exposure to asbestos fibers can raise the risk for mesothelioma. Various factors determine how exposure to asbestos affects an individual:
1) Exposure concentration - what was the concentration of asbestos fibers?
2) Exposure duration - how long did the exposure time period last?
3) Exposure frequency - how often during that time period was the person exposed?
