MESOTHELIOMA WEB
Exposure to asbestos can result in
malignant mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the lung. Throughout the 20th Century, particularly during World War II and the early Cold War years, massive amounts of asbestos were used in shipyards for the building of new ships. During this time, hundreds of thousands of veterans were exposed to asbestos by breathing the tiny fibers found in insulation. For more information about asbestos exposure and mesothelioma, please visit
Mesothelioma Web. There is also a page designed specifically for veterans:

industry were exposed to
asbestos while aboard
naval ships, while
repairing military
vehicles and aircraft,
and while residing in

ASBESTOSNEWS.COM
This website resource is
being provided because
of its extensive
information and
resources on
Mesothelioma. It is now
apparent that hundreds
of thousands of veterans
were exposed to the
toxic material asbestos
as part of their
military service.
The Vietnam war was
fought in an era when
the dangers of asbestos
were well known, leading
many people to believe
that Vietnam veterans
were not exposed to
asbestos in the military
to the same degree as
World War II and Korea
veterans were. For many
Vietnam vets, that
simply isn't true. |
