Mesothelioma may cause from any kind of exposure to dust for prolong time, may be for years. Such kind of prolong exposure to dust particle usually happens in asbestos industries. So, it is common for the worker to get affected in mesothelioma during or after their tenure of working for few years. The prolong exposure to dust cause a kind of hazardous coating over the mesothelium membrane and eventually lead to lungs cancer.It is also common for those asbestos industries as they do not make their workers aware of the hazards exposure and as a natural corollary they widely flout the safety and precaution rules. To down size the expense and upsize the profit, it is common for those asbestos industries, not to provide their field workers with minimum safety instruments. Thus, it is not surprising that they refuse to accept any liability or bear any responsibility to compensate the loss and pain caused to the worker when he is diagnosed with mesothelioma or cancer of mesothelium or for more common understanding, the lungs cancer.As due to the nature and requirement of the work, this disease is pretty common in those workers who have little educational qualification and less skills to...more

Prior to its dangers being widely known, asbestos was a much used product in the twentieth century's ship building industry. Because it resists heat and corrosion it seems like an ideal substance to be used to prevent many possible dangers that could arise on a ship.Until the 1970s more than 300 different materials that contained asbestos were used in ship construction.Over the years it became known that asbestos causes many types of illnesses. Asbestos causes a wide variety of lung ailments including lung cancer, mesothelioma, pleural mesothelioma, asbestosis, and asbestos cancer.Even though asbestos, for the most part, is no longer used in modern shipbuilding, many of the original asbestos products can still be found aboard older naval vessels. And, if there aren't any viable alternatives, some ACMs (asbestos containing materials) are still being used when new ships are built.Asbestos was most commonly used onboard for insulation. It covered hot water lines, hot steam pipes, and fuel lines.Over the course of time the insulation, which was often sprayed on, became highly friable. Although preformed pipe insulation was also used, that too was susceptible to damage. And when...more
