Mesothelioma and Veterans
Mesothelioma is a deadly illness that can result from even brief exposure to asbestos. Members of the U.S. Armed Forces, particularly those who served during the periods of WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, may have been exposed to the harmful fibers. As a result, veterans may have an increased risk of:
- Pleural Mesothelioma
- Peritoneal Mesothelioma
- Pericardial Mesothelioma
During much of the twentieth century, asbestos was used in military barracks, planes, ships, and other places where soldiers lived and worked. Symptoms of mesothelioma can appear even decades after the asbestos exposure, and sadly it is a highly lethal condition.
