Exposure to asbestos can result in malignant
mesothelioma,
a cancer of the lining of the lung.
Throughout the 20th Century, particularly during
World War II and the early
Cold War years, massive amounts of asbestos were used
in shipyards
for the building of new ships.
During this time, hundreds of thousands of veterans
were exposed to asbestos
by breathing the tiny fibers found in insulation.

mesothelioma, please visit website.
For a decade, Mesothelioma Web has been one of the
most comprehensive sites on
mesothelioma, providing facts about palliative care,
nutrition, and chemotherapy,
as well as information on clinical trials.
