BOSTON, MA, August 02, 2011 /Cancer PR News/ -- Every year approximately 10,000 Mesothelioma cases are reported worldwide share Mesothelioma Lawyers.

Only 56 of these countries monitor both asbestos use data and Mesothelioma prevalence. Because Mesothelioma cases are note regularly noted in some countries the actual number of cases worldwide is currently unknown.
Another reason for unreported Mesothelioma cases is poverty living conditions in third world countries. Many people who have been exposed to asbestos do not have access to medical treatment that would diagnose the cancer say Mesothelioma Lawyers. A study done by occupational and environmental professionals in Japan revealed that almost 40,000 cases of Mesothelioma likely went unreported between 1994 - 2008.
Adding to the rise in Mesothelioma cases is the fact that asbestos use had nearly doubled since the 1970's. Mesothelioma Lawyers are told that worldwide 124 million metric tons of asbestos is currently in use. This is an unacceptable number for a substance proven to have negative health effects. The use of asbestos not only puts workers at risk but those that live in nearby towns and the consumers of the products made with asbestos.
