 The only way to prevent mesothelioma is to eliminate exposure to asbestos. Even a small exposure to asbestos is not safe. However, because asbestos was once used to make so many different products, it is difficult to eliminate exposure.
Workers exposed to asbestos on the job should wear protective clothing and masks. It is also good practice to change clothing before leaving work to avoid bringing particles into the home. Family members exposed to asbestos particles may have an increased risk of this disease.
