Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral composed of microscopic clusters that can become airborne if disturbed. Because asbestos is a carcinogen, airborne asbestos fibers pose a serious health hazard. People who are subjected to prolonged asbestos exposure face a significant risk of developing a variety of conditions, including fibrosis, asbestosis, asbestos lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma is a relatively rare form of cancer that develops in the tissue that surrounds certain internal organs of the body, including the chest, heart and abdomen. In fact, mesothelioma is named for that protective membrane, the mesothelium. The mesothelium protects the body’s vital internal organs, mainly by producing a lubricating fluid which provides a slick surface for these internal organs to slide past each other during movement.
