Mesotelioma: Quien esta en Peligro?

El riesgo de desarrollar mesotelioma se aumenta en las personas que son expuestas a altos niveles de asbesto durante largos periodos de tiempo. Porque las fibras de asbesto son fuertes y resistentes al calor, se utilizan en una gran variedad de productos y la gente puede ser expuesta sin incluso saberlo.

Trabajadores Con Alto Riesgo de Desarrollar el Mesotelioma

Los siguientes son algunas de las ocupaciones de individuos que son expuestos a altos niveles de asbesto sobre una base diaria y que pueden estar en peligro para el desarrollo del mesotelioma:

  • Fontaneros
  • Trabajadores de astilleros
  • Electricistas
  • Trabajadores de plantas electricas
  • Trabajadores de demolicion
  • Trabajadores del ferrocarril
  • Trabajadores de los molinos de acero
  • Trabajadores de mantenimiento
  • Instaladores de tabla roca, yeseros, pintores
  • Profesores

Otros que pueden estar en peligro de mesotelioma

Miembros de familia:

Las personas que viven con aquellos que son expuestos a altos niveles de fibras de asbesto estan en peligro para desarrollar el mesotelioma. El polvo que contiene fibras de asbesto puede llegar a ser atrapado en la ropa de los trabajadores, quienes lo introducen a sus hogares. Hoy, se les requiere a trabajadores en ambientes laborales que son ricos con asbesto que se pongan ropa limpia antes de que se vayan para resguardar la seguridad de sus familiares.

Vecindades cerca de fabricas:

La gente que vive cerca de plantas que fabrican productos que contienen asbesto tambien esta en peligro de desarrollar el mesotelioma ya que las fibras se pueden escapar al ambiente.

Fumadores:

Mientras que el fumar no esta directamente relacionado con el mesotelioma, existen estudios que demuestran que el fumar puede detonar la enfermedad en personas que han sido expuestas al asbesto.
