Mesothelioma - the largest man-made Epidemic

And 'documented that Australia has the highest per capita use of asbestos in the world from 1950 to 1970. As a tragic consequence, Australia now has the highest per capita incidence of mesothelioma in the world. With more than 500 Australians contracting mesothelioma per year, it is estimated that by 2020 up to 18,000 Australians die this year from cancer related to asbestos.

Despite growing awareness of the dangersAsbestos>, there are many people who have not heard of mesothelioma. This asbestos related cancer is defined as: a malignant tumor of the mesothelium of the pleura distribution, pericardium, or peritoneum, which form the inhalation of asbestos fibers.

One of the baffling and frightening known facts concerning Mesothelioma is that many years passed between the inhalation of asbestos dust and its deadly legacy of disease, it is not unusualFor four or more years pass before symptoms of asbestos dust inhalation become clear through.

In November 2004, Tokyo, I was invited to speak at the World Congress of asbestos in 2004, held in Japan. Over 800 participants from 40 countries around the world were present. To be part of a collection of individuals united in a quest to rid the poison of asbestos from our environment was an intensely moving experience. After losing my husband Mesothelioma I know first hand the suffering this cruel disease to its innocent victims.

There were many speakers and each told a story of pain, death and pain. We listened, we understood and we ached for the past, present and future victims of the killer asbestos and its legacy of mesothelioma and other asbestos diseases. We listened and we were shocked and angry to learn that, despite growing awareness of dangersAsbestos> and the increasing incidence of asbestos-induced diseases continues, some countries, the products are mining asbestos with little or no regard for their workers or people with asbestos, which are in contact.

Asbestos Association State of the World Wide working tirelessly and fighting almost insurmountable opposition disease to ban asbestos from all countries of the world. It 's a sobering and frightening fact, that even if wehappened today in this quest, the legacy of asbestos disease is caused by five decades to continue.
