A member asked:
I was wondering what are the causes of mesothelioma ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asbestos: Mesothelioma is a type of lung cancer that is associated with inhaling small particles, particularly asbestos. People who worked in the military or shipyards, auto mechanics, electricians, and people exposed to drywall, insulation and floor tiles before the 1970s are at risk for asbestos-related diseases.
