Few people realize that asbestos exposure is a serious health hazard among members of the military as well as military veterans. Asbestos exposure has been conclusively linked to the rare cancer mesothelioma. This is an aggressive disease and mesothelioma treatment options are usually limited palliative therapies. Those who believe they may have been exposed to asbestos should seek the counsel of a respiratory specialist immediately. By spreading awareness of this hazard we can prevent mesothelioma and other respiratory conditions related to asbestos exposure.
