| Mesothelioma risk factors |
Exposure to asbestos
Exposure to asbestos and mesothelioma, which is an important risk factor. Asbestos is a mineral fiber insulation materials consisting of magnesium silicate. For burning and melting properties and low thermal conductivity, it is supported by the manufacturer for many years. Now you see more opportunities for contact with the link between asbestos and mesothelioma, researchers now use very wide range of materials. However, before this discovery, millions of Americans have experienced a significant exposure to harmful elements.
Smoking and Mesothelioma
Smoking linked to mesothelioma, exposure to asbestos (higher than 90-50 percent) for the possibility of the development of asbestosis is much higher in developing countries doubles the risk of mesothelioma as possible . Not yet
Common risk factors, mesothelioma
RadiationThorium dioxide (Thorotrast), is used to test the substance of the X-rays in the past, reports of link pleural mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma. Detection, the use of Thorotrast has been discontinued for many years.
Zeolite
Similar to the silica-based chemical properties of mesothelioma some outside links found asbestos in the soil zeolite mineral Anatole in Turkey.
Simian virus 40 (SV40)
Some scientists mesothelioma in animals found that simian virus 40 (SV30), the virus from human mesothelioma cells. However, the relationship between this virus and mesothelioma is still unknown, further studies have been implemented in order to get a clear potential links.
Erionite exposure
Elio is a natural mineral, and have very similar asbestos. Some records under the mesothelioma indivuduals who live in the vicinity of large deposits of erionite.
Carbon nanotubes
Researchers continue to evaluate the risk of carbon nanotubes as a possible risk factor in mesothelioma scientists expressed concern in the foreseeable future.
