All the time they are working, they are exposed to harmful asbestos particles. They constantly have to inhale the chalk white powder as they have no choice and carry them in their lungs. And the worst part of this is that they don’t even know what risk they are facing.

Malignant Mesothelioma has relatively a long period of latency that is almost 30 years or above so it too late for the person to know that he has developed this cancer.

Unfortunately though knowing that asbestos particles are harmful to human body, the companies still employ people in large number and are making profits in millions of dollars. People have no other alternative but to work and risk their lives for earning their bread and butter. These companies are selfish and are only interested in profits so instead of taking some precautions to solve the problem they opt to make profits.
