The predominant factor that causes mesothelioma cancer caused by exposure to asbestos fibers. Asbestos is an insulating material, which is composed of magnesium-silicate mineral fibers. It was difficult for many years, because it uses some desirable properties, such as their resistance to the merger and the resistance to combustion. Asbestos was widely used in many industrial products like cement, roof tiles, floors, insulation and textiles.The researchers found a strong link between asbestos and mesothelioma, and today the material is now less common. Not prohibited.

Before the discovery was the strong correlation (relationship) between mesothelioma and asbestos, millions of people have prolonged exposure to this harmful substance. During the manufacturing process, tiny particles of asbestos can be suspended in the air, where they can beinhaled. These asbestos fibers are inhaled may possibly be incorporated in the mesothelium (a protective membrane that most of the internal organs of the body, for example with regard to pulmonary, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal), where they may arise in mesothelioma. These particles can not only cause of mesothelioma, but also other serious health problems such as increased cancer risk of lung cancer, asbestosis, and an increase in other cancers in general.

The risk of developingMesothelioma and other asbestos-related disease increases with exposure to asbestos at work to make it heavier and more closely. However, we can say that some people have developed mesothelioma, a brief exposure to asbestos, while others who were heavily exposed are not developed mesothelioma at all.

Although results generally mesothelioma from exposure in the workplace, there are situations of exposure to asbestosthe environment that causes the disease. Families that may be asbestos in the vicinity of former production sites are also in danger. The destruction of structures that may contain asbestos contamination in homes nearby. Family members of asbestos workers may be exposed to asbestos dust have been brought into the house and clothes and hair of workers. This can lead to family members of developing mesothelioma years later. Becausethe importance of taking adequate precautions for asbestos workers. For example, they can wash and change clothes at work, first in their homeland.

People who have been exposed or suspected to be in the air, asbestos fibers were suspended, should have regular medical checks. All problems with breathing, the physician must be immediately reported. Furthermore, it is important not because a combination of asbestos and smokingSmoking is particularly dangerous.

Even if exposure to asbestos is the major cause for the development of mesothelioma cancer, other minor factors in the development of this result is questionable disease.There serious evidence that the SV40 virus (Simian virus) may increase the risk of developing mesothelioma. However, the studies gave an incomplete, and thus the correlation (realationship) between this virus and mesothelioma is stillclear.

Thorium Radiation (Therotrast was) in X-ray test used in the past, and there are some indications from this substance, both pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma.) It was a result of this discovery of thorium dioxide (Therotrast are no longer used.

Zeolite is a mineral made of silicon with chemical properties similar to asbestos. It is found in the soil in the region of Anatolia (Turkey). Some cases of mesothelioma in this region are associatedMatter.

Tobacco is also a factor in the development of mesothelioma. Although increases in smoking by themselves do not cause mesothelioma, smoking, the odds of a person to develop mesothelioma. However, not only smoking and asbestos causes mesothelioma, but lung cancer.
