For this reason Asbestos was used for many years in a number of different commercial and industrial capacity. Because of its strength and resistance to heat and its ability to electrical insulation and extreme resistance to chemicals and asbestos used in roofing shingles and floor tiles and cement compounds, textile products, and auto parts.

Although mesothelioma relatively rare disease, which is one of the most painful and difficult to treat, and the best treatment for mesothelioma is prevention. This means avoiding exposure to asbestos the main cause of this disease. Although the chances of contracting mesothelioma commensurate with the size and intensity of exposure, this disease has been known to develop exposure in people who had very limited - but who have a genetic predisposition to cancer were more susceptible to it.

People who worked in jobs that contain asbestos for many years, discuss mesothelioma prevention seems to be a moot point. Many of those who were exposed to asbestos think it's too late to talk about ways to avoid developing mesothelioma. They believe that the impact of asbestos on the lungs has already manifested itself and there is no escaping the risk of developing the disease. However, exposure to asbestos in the past is not the only factor people should worry about the possibility of being subjected today is not the only one error only.
