Austin Asbestos Attorneys - Houston Mesothelioma Lawyers
 Mesothelioma is a serious cancer that occurs in individuals exposed to asbestos.
Mesothelioma victims have either inhaled or swallowed asbestos fibers which then
travel through the lung and become lodged in the pleura (the thin, saran
wrap-type membrane lining the lungs.) Each year 2,500 to 4,000 patients in the
U.S. are diagnosed with mesothelioma and asbestos-related diseases.
Many uses for asbestos were banned in the mid-1970’s, the risk from
exposure continues today due to mesothelioma’s long latency (inactive) period of
anywhere between 15 – 50 years. Today, asbestos continues to be a threat to
workers exposed through their occupations and in buildings that were erected
prior to the ban. Experts predict that mesothelioma diagnoses will continue to
increase in the United States for at least another 10 to 20 years.
Asbestos fibers are so toxic, that industrial and trade worker’s families may be
exposed to mesothelioma through particles that cling to the worker’s clothing,
shoes, skin and hair. This type of “second-hand” exposure to asbestos is known
as Para occupational exposure.
