Maine mesothelioma information
Mesothelioma in Maine is more common than you think. Although mesothelioma deaths in Maine have risen in the past 20 years, mesothelioma is still a relatively rare cancer. About 2,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed in the United States each year but that number is steadily increasing. Mesothelioma occurs more often in men than in women and risk increases with age. A history of asbestos exposure at work is reported in about 90 percent of all mesothelioma cases.
However, individuals can get mesothelioma from exposure in their home and other places away from the workplace. Asbestos is a mineral that occurs naturally as masses of strong, flexible fibers that can be separated into thin threads and woven and are processed at rapid speed. Asbestos has been widely used in many industrial products, including cement, brake linings, roof shingles, flooring products, textiles, and insulation. If tiny asbestos particles float in the air they may be inhaled or swallowed, and can cause serious health problems including mesothelioma. Smoking does not cause mesothelioma.
