Did You Know Texas Is Fifth In Mesothelioma Deaths?
The growth of Texas during the 20th century paralleled the increased use of asbestos. Moreover, Texas's principal industries during that time included such asbestos-dependent fields as construction, petroleum, heavy industry and ship building. Not surprisingly, Texas has far more mesothelioma patients than most states and eighty-five percent of asbestos-related deaths have occurred in males.
What is surprising, however, is that many women have died as a result of their exposure through their husband's work. In these unusual cases, aerosolized asbestos minerals clung to the husband's clothing and were subsequently inhaled by the wife. If you're husband was exposed to asbestos or has an asbestos-related disease, you may be sick!
