Mesothelioma’s Main Cause
The reason mesothelioma is so rare is because it only has one cause–exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a toxic silicate material that was prized for its insulating properties. It wasn’t until the 1970s that the toxicity of the substance was widely known and regulated. So, some older buildings may still contain asbestos.
How to Prevent Mesothelioma
The main way to prevent mesothelioma is to eliminate the risk of asbestos exposure.
It’s up to property managers and job site managers to identify and remove asbestos from the premises. This must be done to protect tenants and workers. Property owners should clearly demarcate the dangerous area and contact hazardous material removal professionals to get the substance off their premises.
