Mesothelioma is caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibres. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been used as a building material for over 150 years on a large commercial scale as fire proofing as well as insulation. Over 3500 people die each year in the UK from Mesothelimo or asbestosis. Also long as the material is left alone and undisturbed there is little or no risk. If however it is disturbed or damaged it releases asbestos fibres which can poses a serious threat to our health.
Apparently there are thousands of tons of asbestos still present in around half a million buildings which will take many decades to remove. Obviously those at most risk are those responsible for removing it or carrying out repair work and maintenance on buildings with asbestos material contained within, this also includes plumbers electricians and joiners.
Mesothelioma is a malignant tumour which can only be caused by asbestos exposure. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chest tightness and pain, a persistent and productive cough, poor quality of sleep, and the loss of appetite.
Some of the occupations that are risk from mesothelioma or asbestosis are:
- Asbestos factory employees
- Construction workers
- Aerospace workers
- Insulation engineers

- Carpenters
- Pipe fitters
- Roofers
- Electrician
