Asbestos dust that is inhaled or swallowed will accumulate in the lungs and abdomen for a long time, usually around 20-50 years, before it eventually develops into mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is also more commonly diagnosed in men than in women, and in people over 65 years of age.
Some other factors that can trigger this disease, namely:
- The environment where the soil contains asbestos.
- Living in an area or living with someone who has a job related to exposure to Asbestos can also stick to the skin and clothing so as to bring the asbestos into the house or other environment.
- Ever exposed to asbestos or have family members suffering from mesothelioma.
