Mesothelioma is a cancerous tumor found in the lining of the lung, the chest, or the abdominal cavity and is almost always caused by sustained exposure to asbestos. According to the National Cancer Institute, "[m]ost people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles." Asbestos products are extremely toxic fibrous minerals when inhaled, absorbed, or ingested.

Although millions of Americans have been exposed to some amount of asbestos since the 1940's, there are particular fields where there is an increased risk of exposure. Individuals with an increased exposure to Asbestos include asbestos miners, shipyard workers, workers in the heating and constructions fields, fireproofers, and the producers of other asbestos related products. Many workers bring asbestos particles home on their clothing, exposing their families.
