Asbestos exposure is the only known cause of mesothelioma. When asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested, they can become lodged in the linings of organs and irritate healthy tissue.
Decades of irritation from asbestos fibers cause cells to mutate and become cancerous. It can take roughly 20-50 years for symptoms of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases like lung cancer to appear.
Since initial symptoms are similar to those of common illnesses, mesothelioma is often not diagnosed until it has advanced.
Initial symptoms of mesothelioma can include:
Abdominal or chest pain
Cough
Fatigue
Fever
Loss of appetite
Shortness of breath
Weight loss
Tell your doctor immediately if you begin experiencing any of these symptoms and have a history of asbestos exposure.
We have registerednurses on staff who can work with our Worcester asbestos lawyers to help you understand your diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment options.

Known Asbestos Sites in Worcester
There are over 3,000 known asbestos sites throughout Massachusetts, with more than 90 located in the city of Worcester.
Known asbestos sites in Worcester include:
American Steel & Wire
Bell Company
Coppus Engineering
Granger Contracting
Holy Cross College
Monsanto Chemical

These are just a few of the workplaces throughout Worcester where asbestos has been found.
Please note: Some of these sites previously contained asbestos and may have since removed it from their buildings.
Most asbestos exposures happen in the workplace, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Certain occupations may have exposed employees to asbestos through different products, materials, and locations.
Unfortunately, family members of those working high-risk jobs may have also been exposed to asbestos through secondhand exposure. Someone who works with or around asbestos fibers can unknowingly bring the fibers home on their clothing or hair, which may put the whole household at risk.
If you or a loved one developed mesothelioma, our asbestos lawyers in Worcester may be able to help. Contact us now to learn more.
