How much asbestos exposure can result in mesothelioma?
Though typically it takes years of continued asbestos exposure to cause health problems, significant evidence shows that even low to moderate exposure to asbestos fibers can cause mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. Since these illnesses often take years, even decades, to manifest, it is hard to gauge original levels of exposure. Researchers believe that in some cases, victims suffered asbestos exposure below what current OSHA standards permit.
