Former power plant workers at risk for mesothelioma

Did you work at a power plant?

If so, you should get tested regularly for mesothelioma, a cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos. Power plants contain many asbestos containing products. Some of these products are: pipes, valves, cables and turbines. When asbestos containing products are disturbed e.g., by cutting or hammering, they can release deadly asbestos fibers into the air. These asbesos fibers can enter a person's body and lead to the development of asbestos lung cancer and mesothelioma decades later. Even those people who worked at a power plant 40 or 50 years ago are at risk for developing mesothelioma.
