Dangers of Asbestos During the better part of the 20th century, the United States Armed Forces used asbestos in the production of many types of ships , buildings and vehicles, thus exposing countless soldiers and workers to this terrible mineral. At its peak, asbestos was used predominantly in factories during World War II and many U.S. veterans suffered from mesothelioma as a result, because the harmful effects of asbestos were not known until decades later. Even now, as asbestos use and production has declined significantly, many veterans could still be afflicted, unaware of the early symptoms of mesothelioma cancer. Another web page on the Dangers of Asbestos Countless veterans are currently suffering from life-threatening illnesses that are a result of exposure to asbestos, a material that was commonly used in hundreds of military applications, products, and ships because of its resistance to fire. We have created a veterans-specific section on our website in order to help inform about the dangers of asbestos exposure. Information. Answers. Help. Every mesothelioma patient needs quality resources and support, and The Mesothelioma Center provides all of this through a number of free programs. These resources are yours for the taking. Veterans and Mesothelioma 1/3 of all mesothelioma patients are veterans, and approximately 6,000 veterans afflicted with this asbestos-caused cancer died between 1999 and 2005 alone. The reason this cancer targets so many veterans is because of the prevalence of asbestos use in the military in the past. Part of our mission is to spread awareness to veterans and their families. Our website offers free veteran specific resources and support for patients and families.
