Mesothelioma is a dangerous cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos. In most cases, victims do not develop signs or symptoms of this illness until years after they have been exposed to asbestos.

Once touted at the “magic mineral,” asbestos is a known carcinogen. The fibers can be inhaled or ingested and cause malignant cell mutation in the body over time. Most at risk are those who worked directly with asbestos-related products, their family members, and those who live in homes containing asbestos products.
Each borough of New York has been affected by mesothelioma. In Kings Country, there were an estimated 604 deaths from asbestos-related exposure from 1999 to 2013. The death rate in this county from these exposures is 1.6 deaths per 100,000 people.
