A reminder of the dangers of asbestos

February 13, 2010
We recently received a thought-provoking email from Benjamin Leer, Public Awareness Director for PleuralMesothelioma.com, a website which could make salutary reading for those involved in heritage aircraft restoration, whose parent organisation is currently campaigning to help educate people in the aviation industry.

Pleural mesothelioma is the most common type of a rare cancer that develops in the lungs. It is almost solely caused by exposure to asbestos which was used in a wide range of aviation applications such as: cables; gaskets; brakes; panels; turbines; and wires. Benjamin suggests that PleuralMesothelioma.com currently features the most up-to-date and comprehensive information about this condition available on-online with information ranging from a complete list of symptoms, to treatment options, and steps to take after a diagnosis.

Mesothelioma Life Expectancy - Pleural mesothelioma is by far the most prevalent form of mesothelioma. According to the American Cancer Society, three-quarters of all mesothelioma cases are pleural. Pleuralmesothelioma.com offers the most comprehensive and current information on asbestos exposure and mesothelioma.
