How asbestos exposure occurs

Asbestos is no longer used in manufacturing, but exposure to the toxic substance years ago continues to yield new cases of mesothelioma. It may take years for the first symptoms to emerge. Depending on the circumstances, asbestos exposure can lead to a premises liability case or a workplace injury case.

Exposure to the microscopic asbestos may not only affect one person. An exposed worker may have brought the fibers into his or her home, putting family members at risk of mesothelioma from second-hand exposure.

The tiny fibers tend to travel deep into the lungs, where tumors may develop.

The following are some occupations that carried the risk of asbestos exposure:

• Pipe fitters

• Construction workers
• Welders
• Electricians

The following products generally contained asbestos:

• Bulk steel and other metals
