What is asbestos and what are the symptoms?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once in high demand for a number of construction, automotive, and military purposes. More recently, asbestos has been classified as a highly toxic substance, and has been declared as a cancer-causing agent-linked to the cause of mesothelioma and other related cancers. There are a number of careers that face the risk of asbestos exposure.

Workers of the following industries may be exposed to asbestos:

• Auto mechanics
• Construction workers
• Firefighters
• Power plant workers
• Carpenters
• Electricians
• Factory workers
• Plumbers

The symptoms that a person experiences will depend upon the stage of mesothelioma through which they are going. Earlier signs can be hard to detect, and they are often mistaken for symptoms that are caused by other illnesses. For this reason, it can be difficult to detect mesothelioma.

By the time warning signs have been detected, the mesothelioma will have most likely spread, making it more difficult for doctors to treat. Unfortunately, signs of mesothelioma do not become noticeable in people until 20 to 50 years after the individual has been exposed to asbestos. This is why once many people are diagnosed to mesothelioma, it is at a later stage in development.

Common signs that may indicate you have mesothelioma:

• Pain in the chest
• Shortness of breath
• Dry coughing or wheezing
• Unusual or sudden weight loss
