Exposure to Asbestos can be an occupational or environmental hazard.
People who live in central Turkey are environmentally exposed to the
naturally occurring asbestos in that area with some families having a
genetic predisposition to the erionite in asbestos which causes
Mesothelioma. Others at risk are families that live in old buildings
containing asbestos. Children that are exposed are at a much higher risk
to contract Mesothelioma....
