How Asbestos Is Linked to Mesothelioma in Massachusetts
Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer caused by asbestos exposure. It can occur after a single instance of exposure or after decades of prolonged exposure.
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.
These are just a few workplaces throughout Massachusetts 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.
An asbestos attorney in Massachusetts can help determine if you may have been at risk of exposure at any of these sites.
Massachusetts Workers at Risk of Asbestos Exposure
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.
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.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, our team may be able to pursue compensation on your behalf. Contact us today to learn more.
