Mega million dollar corporations have known since the 1940s that unregulated asbestos exposure was deadly. Did that influence their decision to provide masks or protective gear for their workers?

Mesothelioma Symptoms
The sad fact about Mesothelioma cancer is that it's often misdiagnosed.

Pleural Mesothelioma: Pleural Mesothelioma is a cancer of the cells that make up the pleura or lining around the outside of the lungs and inside of the ribs. Its only known cause in the United States is previous exposure to asbestos fibers.
The early symptoms of Mesothelioma are generally non-specific and will most likely lead to a delay in diagnosis. Resembling viral pneumonia, pleural Mesothelioma patients have shortness of breath, chest pain, and/or persistent cough. More astoundingly, some patients show no symptoms at all.

Peritoneal Mesothelioma: Many of the organs in the abdomen are enveloped by a thin membrane of mesothelial cells, known as the peritoneum. Peritoneal Mesothelioma is a tumor of this membrane. The only known cause in the United States is previous exposure to asbestos, but it can be many years after exposure before the disease appears.

Symptoms of peritoneal Mesothelioma typically include abdominal pains, weakness, weight loss, loss of appetite, nausea, and abdominal swelling. Fluid often accumulates in the peritoneal space causing severe pain. The growing tumor can exert increasing pressure on the organs in the abdomen, leading to bowel obstruction and distention.
