| Still at High Risk of Mesothelioma Cancer |
Plumbers and pipe fitters are the industrial workers most at risk for the deadly cancer, mesothelioma. That's the finding of an insurance industry study recently conducted in England, 2010. In a report prepared by the National Claims, finding that the former plumbers, and electricity, construction workers and auto mechanics, have a much higher likelihood of developing cancer associated with asbestos than people who work in other industries. This is a finding supported by the CDC researchers in the United States which found the number of deaths due to mesothelioma among plumbers and predict these events could continue to rise for 40 years.
The report warns the UK insurance plumbers and ex-plumber, mesothelioma is a very dangerous disease because it tends to evolve slowly, with mesothelioma symptoms that can mimic other conditions. The diagnosis of mesothelioma was initially very small possibility of this disease was found to gradually evolve in the future. According to the report "The symptoms of asbestosis often only emerge 15 to 20 years after initial exposure to asbestos. Symptoms begin gradually, and may become more noticeable over several years. Common symptoms are shortness of breath (initially after physical activity, but eventually he breaks too), coughing, wheezing, and chest pain." At the same time, the 'Daily Telegraph' in England reported the cost ex-plumber who was diagnosed with mesothelioma in the hospital approximately 175,000 pounds.
