Mesothelioma Treatment Centers in Arizona

Arizona Mesothelioma Treatment CentersUnfortunately, thousands of Arizona residents and employees have been exposed to asbestos on the job, in the home, or in their local environment. Arizona is home to a thriving asbestos industry, including dozens of power generating plants, mines, copper smelting operations, vermiculite packing plants, and more. Many of these asbestos sites are concentrated in populated areas such as Yuma, Phoenix-Scottsdale, and Tucson. Asbestos exposure from these and other locations can lead to serious illness and disease, including asbestosis and mesothelioma, a rare but deadly form of cancer.

Asbestos Cancer Statistics in Arizona

According to official sources, over 500 residents of Arizona died of asbestos cancer diseases between 1979 and 1999. Of these, nearly 60% were cases of mesothelioma cancer caused by asbestos exposure in Arizona. The highest death rate came from Maricopa County, which is densely populated, while less populated areas, such as La Paz County, had lower death rates.

While many industries are trying to clean up their act and prevent human exposure to asbestos, many people have and are suffering needlessly because of these companies’ negligence. Furthermore, because diseases like mesothelioma cancer can take years and often decades to develop, many people now receiving mesothelioma cancer diagnoses were exposed to asbestos decades ago. If you have worked in or lived near an Arizona asbestos industry, it might be a good idea to have periodic health check-ups.
