"Mesothelioma Information"

One out of ten Australian carpenters born prior to 1950 will die of mesothelioma or any other asbestos-related cancer. This was confirmed by a British study.

Nearly 30,000 Australians will lost their life between 2000 and 2050. The main reason for this death is use of asbestos cement sheeting and roofing, which were cut with power saws. Cutting the materials with power saw releases asbestos fibers into the air, which in turn provoke the asbestos related cancer- the mesothelioma. They worked without any respiratory protection.

In addition to this, the scientists predicted that the rate of death among the US carpenters would be this much high owing to the reasons that they’re following different construction methods and materials.
