As the ranking according to data compiled by the CDC in 1999, Nevada is a state with 31 the highest mortality rates due to Mesothelioma. With this account, we can say that not too many people have been affected by Mesothelioma in Nevada. However, people here still need to be vigilant as Mesothelioma has a tendency to occur even 50 years after exposure to asbestos. The only reason for this disease is exposure to asbestos.
Mesothelioma is a very rare cancer, but with the passage of time, it is estimated that the coming years, more than 100,000 Americans will die from this disease. It is important to realize that people who work in asbestos related industries, they should wear protective clothing and masks that will prevent them from inhaling asbestos particles and fibers. Being a very aggressive disease and cruel, can kill a person within one year after diagnosis.
The most vulnerable areas of the body where the Mesothelioma can attack the pleural or lung lining, or peritoneum, the lining of the stomach. Surgery, radiation and chemotherapy are several ways to treat the disease but only when it was discovered in time. There is no cure for this deadly disease, only prevention can save you. People working in construction, ship building, dock and asbestos mines and mills can be at greatest risk for Mesothelioma. Because there are no workplace standards before 1980, the majority of Mesothelioma cases resulted in this period.
Families and loved ones of people who worked in the asbestos industry must know that they can also develop mesothelioma from inhaling dust from clothes, shoes and hair of people affected.Mesothelioma in Nevada
Since 1979, more than 153 people have fallen victims of asbestos disease in Nevada. Of this amount, more than 100 people became victims of Mesothelioma. That's because sending 484 or 37 213 tons of vermiculite were sent to Libby, Montana for 5 locations in Nevada during 1948 and 1993. The largest number of temporary Overton sent to Las Vegas, Gerlach and Empire also received the vermiculite. Overton factory is currently being investigated by the government for the storage of asbestos. Also, it is important for people who work in factories as well as those living in nearby areas to get themselves checked for Mesothelioma. Early detection can increase the likelihood of effective treatment and full recovery.
Here are the figures for the number of deaths, death rates (per million population), and years of potential life lost (YPLL) in Nevada in 1999, among the population aged 15 years and older.
