Mesothelioma Treatment Centers in California

California Mesothelioma Treatment CentersDue to the numerous natural and man made sources of asbestos in California, thousands of Golden State’s residents have been needlessly and often unknowingly exposed to this dangerous material. Though once prized for its durability, fire-resistance, insulating, and sound-proofing qualities, asbestos is known to cause serious human diseases, including asbestosis and mesothelioma cancer.

Asbestos Exposure in California

Several California industrial operations have exposed millions of their faithful employees and local residents to the risks of asbestos. There are over 25 oil refineries, 20 shipyards, 11 power plants, and numerous mining and smelting operations located throughout California, all of which present the risk of asbestos exposure. One of the largest coastal states, California has long been a naval and commercial shipping center, particularly the areas of San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area. The shipping industry and the Navy have used asbestos containing products extensively over the last 150 years. Construction activities, particularly during California’s massive housing booms, have also exposed workers and residents to this harmful fiber.

California Treatment Centers

Fortunately, California is home to some of the leading cancer centers in the United States. For those who have been exposed to asbestos in California and subsequently developed mesothelioma cancer, numerous hospitals and leading oncologists are located throughout the state who can help. The following is a list of some of the major mesothelioma treatment centers in California.
