Although asbestos has been outlawed for 20 - 30 years in modern industrialized countries, the new cases of Mesothelioma have continued to rise in the U.K. and the U.S.
Rising Cases of Mesothelioma in the UK
In the United States alone, the number of new mesothelioma cases each year is between 3,000 and 4,000. These numbers are still rising and are not expected to peak until 2025. This translates to thousands of Americans each year developing mesothelioma due to exposure to asbestos. A great number of these victims do not know why they have developed mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma Medical Information
Roughly 80% of cases are believed to derive from occupational or paraoccupational exposure to primary asbestos fiber types...
The remaining 20% of cases have no clear-cut occupational cause and are believed to be related to etiologic factors, including contact with nonindustrial fibers such as erionite and exposure to simian virus 40 (SV40), a DNA tumor virus affecting Asian macaques that contaminated poliovirus vaccine stocks used in the late 1950s/early 1960s.
