Asbestos Exposure is explained by an experienced mesothelioma attorney. Asbestos remains a problem today because over 3,000 asbestos products were used in the United States and elsewhere over the past 70 years. Exposure to asbestos occurs when asbestos related products are used releasing asbestos fibers into the air. Once these fibers are breathed in, they cannot be extracted and can lead to serious health problems.
