Microscopic asbestos fibers are breathed in or swallowed. The human body has difficulty destroying or getting rid of these fibers. Over decades, the fibers cause biological changes that lead to inflammation, scarring and genetic damage. The most susceptible area to these fibers is the lining of the lungs, called the pleura, although fibers can also become trapped in the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum). One time fibers cause biological damage, the stage is set for a 20- to 50-year latency period for mesothelioma to create.
Mesothelioma cancer develops after exposure to asbestos, which most often occurs in the workplace �in industrial settings, shipyards, auto repair shops, elderly houses, schools and public buildings. It takes long-term exposure to make somebody in danger, but heavy, short-term asbestos exposure has been known to cause mesothelioma cancer.
