Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used throughout the 20th century due to its strength and heat-resistant properties. However, asbestos has since been linked to dangerous health conditions like mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other asbestos-related diseases.
After being inhaled or ingested, asbestos fibers can become lodged in the lining of certain organs and irritate healthy tissues and cells.
Over time, the tissues and cells that have been affected by asbestos may mutate and become cancerous. In most cases, this does not happen until 20-50 years after the initial exposure.
Symptoms of mesothelioma include:
Mesothelioma can be difficult to diagnose because its symptoms are so similar to those of other illnesses.
Sokolove Law has registered nurses on staff who can help you understand your mesothelioma diagnosis and treatment options.
If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms and have a history of asbestos exposure, it's important to see your physician right away.
In Florida, over 1,900 known sites have been linked to asbestos exposure.
Known asbestos job sites located in Florida include:
These are just a few workplaces throughout Florida where asbestos has been found.
It is important to note that this list does not reflect the current conditions of these locations. Many sites have since removed all asbestos-containing materials.
Use our free asbestos exposure job site database to see if you may have been exposed to asbestos while at work.
An asbestos attorney in Florida can help determine if you may have been at risk of exposure at any of these sites.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most asbestos exposures happen at work.
Since asbestos is more likely to be found at certain job sites or in certain materials, some occupations can put workers at an increased risk of developing mesothelioma.
Jobs at risk of asbestos exposure include:
Even people who have not directly worked around asbestos can be diagnosed with mesothelioma. Often, this is due to secondhand exposure to asbestos.
Secondhand exposure happens when someone who works around asbestos or asbestos products unknowingly brings the fibers home on their clothes or in their hair, potentially exposing their entire household.
