The
people who have been exposed to asbestos
and work in the building, construction, shipbuilding, railroad,
and automotive industries have a very high risk for developing
mesothelioma. Because the industries involved consist mainly
of men, over 80% of patients with mesothelioma are male.
Any type of exposure to the toxic mineral will
increase a person's chance for developing mesothelioma.
Families
of asbestos workers have approximately 1% risk for contracting
mesothelioma due to contact with asbestos dust from the worker's
shoes, clothing, hair and skin, or manufactured objects. Sometimes
there will be an occasional patient who cannot recall a work,
family, or other exposure to asbestos. These types of patients
are considered cases of background exposure, some incident
of exposure that the individual is not aware of.
