About The Ferraro Law Firm

Mesothelioma is an Asbestos-Related Disease

One of the main reasons asbestos is so dangerous is that its fibers do not break down easily inside the body. Once an individual inhales the needle-shaped fibers, they can lodge within the linings of the lungs or migrate to the abdomen, heart, or testes.

Because the fibers do not break down easily, they can stay in place for years or decades. Your body will try to protect itself by initiating an inflammatory response, which may eventually cause swelling or scarring of nearby tissue. Tumors may soon develop, causing mesothelioma.

Other asbestos-related conditions include:

• Asbestosis
• Lung cancer
• Pleural plaques

Have You Worked in One of Sarasota’s Asbestos-Related Industries?

Even though it is widely known that asbestos is a carcinogen, the United States has not officially banned the use of the mineral. Many products that contain asbestos still remain in schools, homes, and businesses all over the country. Thankfully, asbestos is only harmful when aerosolized or disturbed.

Most mesothelioma patients were exposed to asbestos in the workplace. Others develop mesothelioma through secondhand asbestos exposure. This happens when a loved one brings asbestos dust and fibers into their home on their dirty work clothing. Simply doing the laundry for someone that works with asbestos can increase your risk of developing mesothelioma years later.

Some of the occupations that have an increased risk of asbestos exposure are:

• Firefighting
• Electrical work
• Plumbing
• Textile manufacturing
• Construction and demolition
• Auto mechanics
• U.S. military service
