Asbestos Cancer – Who’s at Risk

Utah Asbestos Attorney

Asbestos exposure can occur when you breathe in airborne asbestos fibers. This usually happens when asbestos is disturbed during mining or manufacturing asbestos products – or when asbestos products are disturbed during maintaining, remodeling or demolishing older buildings. Utah has many buildings that have asbestos insulation and ceiling tiles.

The most common occupations dealing with asbestos exposure are:

• Homebuilders
• Contractors
• Insulation installers
• Electricians
• Plumbers
• Shipyard workers
• Railroad workers
• Demolition experts
• Process and power plant workers
• Miners
• Automobile mechanics
• Do-it-yourselfers

Statistically a majority of Utah Mesothelioma patients are male Caucasians between the ages of 50 and 75. About 3,000 Americans are diagnosed with Mesothelioma each year. About 80 percent of these cases can be traced back directly to exposure in the workplace many years earlier.

Unfortunately, many Utah family members and friends were exposed to asbestos when workers returned home with asbestos fibers on their hair and work clothes.
