Mesothelioma is an occupational exposure disease, and it has been proved that the incidence of mesothelioma is closely related to the inhalation of asbestos dust, especially crocidolite and amosite, while the role of chrysotile is still unclear.

Non-asbestos factors include mineral fiber zeolites, minerals, radiation, organic compounds, N-methyl-N-nitrosoureas, petroleum, liquid paraffin, viruses, chronic inflammation, including several recurrent lung infections, tuberculous pleurisy , recurrent diverticulosis, familial Mediterranean fever.

In addition to this, there are occupational exposures such as shoe factories, tanneries, textile workers, petrochemical workers or occupational exposures to copper, nickel, rubber, fiberglass and powders, carcinogenic preservatives such as asbestos, and genetic factors, among many others. Various factors are associated with the occurrence of mesothelioma.

Therefore, it is recommended that patients must maintain a good living and working environment, avoid risk factors, and prevent the occurrence of diseases.
