Despite the increased awareness of the danger of asbestos and mesothelioma over the past two decades, the number of cases of the virulent form of cancer is still on the rise. The number of mortalities due to mesothelioma has increased over the past decade, and there is no reason to believe that this trend will reverse.
According to research compiled by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, the number of deaths due to malignant mesothelioma continues to increase. Although the use of asbestos was curtailed in the late 1970s, approximately 1.3 million workers are still exposed to asbestos dust.
