While researchers have long known that people who have been exposed to moderate to high levels of asbestos over time are more likely to develop mesothelioma and other asbestos-related illnesses, a new study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine asserts that even exposure to low levels of asbestos over a short amount of time can greatly increase an individual's risk of developing mesothelioma.
According to one of the lead researchers, the fact that this study is only now being conducted shows the lack of real investigation and research into environmental disease.
