Mesothelioma is one of the deadliest diseases known
to man, however, it is 100% preventable. Mesothelioma gets its name
from the fact that it affects the mesothelial cells that make up the
mesothelium - the outer linning that protects the body's major organs
like heart, lungs stomach etc.
The only known cause of Mesothelioma
is exposure to mineral Asbestos. It is caused due to asbestos dust that
enters the body through inhalation and as the asbestos degrades within
the body it eats away the linning of the lungs and developing into a
deadly cancer.
