Mesothelioma Treatment Centers in Missouri
Asbestos is a hazardous material that has long been used in a wide variety of industrial, commercial and other applications. In fact, over 300 products have been riddled with asbestos, which can wreak serious havoc on the human body. While asbestos was long prized as an excellent flame retardant, heat and chemical resister, and insulator, it is extremely harmful when invisible asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested.
In the last two decades of the 20th century, over 600 residents of Missouri died from asbestos related diseases. Of these victims, nearly 400 died from mesothelioma, which is an aggressive cancer that attacks the tissue lining of the heart, lungs, or abdominal cavity. This type of cancer is particularly vicious because it is hard to diagnose, difficult to treat, and often fatal. While such a condition can lie dormant for years or even decades, catching it early is the best way to protect one’s health. Mesothelioma treatment centers, located throughout Missouri and the greater United States, are premium health care facilities equipped to treat diseases caused by asbestos exposure.
Asbestos Risks in Missouri
Power generation plants, chemical industries, motor companies, construction operations, and old buildings are prime sites of potential asbestos poisoning in Missouri and other states. The W.R. Grace & Co.'s Zonolite plant in St. Louis and Mack Truck assembly plants in Missouri are just two examples of major companies that have exposed their workers and other citizens of Missouri to deadly asbestos containing products.
