Mesothelium is a protective layer that covers the internal organs of the human body and is divided in various parts at different levels namely: - Peritoneal, Pericardial, Pleural and Tunica Vaginalis for Gut, Heart, Lungs and Testicles respectively. This form of Mesothelioma is caused due to the exposure to Asbestos at the workplace or other level.
Mesothelioma – The Occupational link.

The lacerating nature of Asbestos particle is mostly responsible for the large carry-grounds of the Asbestos fibers.

To reduce the chances of the same, people working in such environment are requested to take a shower after returning from the work and follow all the working standards back at there workplaces.
