How do I know if I am at risk for mesothelioma or other asbestos-related medical conditions?
While most people are exposed to asbestos at some point in their life, asbestos in the workplace greatly increases your risk of developing mesothelioma. Asbestos is often found in factories, construction sites, mines, and mills. Those who work with insulation, asbestos textiles, and brakes also risk exposure, as do building renovators and firefighters. Family members of employees exposed to asbestos also stand a greater chance of developing an asbestos-related condition.
