Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by previous exposure to asbestos. While being exposed to asbestos is virtually the only known cause of Mesothelioma, this disease is also virtually 100% preventable. The problem lies in the fact that over the last century thousands of buildings and homes throughout the United States  have been constructed using materials and properties of asbestos.

The deadly effects of exposure to asbestos have been known for almost 75 years. Still at the height of new construction development in the United States, the fire-retardant properties of asbestos materials were considered essential in constructing buildings and homes which would be less susceptible for fire.

Because symptoms of Mesothelioma may not appear until 20 to 50 years after exposure to asbestos, as Americans we are now entering a period of time which the number Mesothelioma victims could reach epidemic levels.
