The symptoms of Mesothelioma were non-specific and it took more than 30 years to appear from the time he was exposed to asbestos at his workplace. The symptoms included shortness of breath and severe pain in his chest due to accumulation of fluid around his lungs. It also led to him losing weight. Now my mother has developed Mesothelioma because she handled his clothing. In spite of this disease being quite rare, it can be developed even if one member of the family is exposed to asbestos and brings it home on the clothes. It can affect family members through secondary exposure, just as it happened in my family. Though it occurs more among men than women and the risk of developing it is more for older people, there are chances that it can appear among either gender at any age. Hi,

Keep it up! Banning asbestos is not the problem. The problem is a lack of knowledge regarding the hazards and the potential effects of exposure. I'm an asbestos consultant and I spend alot of time trying to make people understand how dangerous asbestos is. As the article mentions the big issue is remodeling. I know several people who have used unlicensed (asbestos license) floor companys to remove asbestos floor tiles and mastic only to have their home contaminated with asbestos because the floor company did not do the removals with proper controls and procedures. In my opinion, the future asbestos disease cases we will hear about are the improper removals or unprotected remodeling and renovation projects.
