Secondary risk factors cause of mesothelioma

Talking about the secondary risk factors that trigger the appearance of mesothelioma in human, besides asebes. It has been found that erionite, thorium dioxide, simian virus 40 (SV40), zeolite, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have the potential to trigger malignant mesothelioma cancer. Although there are some of these substances are still in need of further research of scientists in order to know the truth for sure, but five of these substances has received special attention from scientists. That is, everyone must be alert to their findings. Here are the five substances on purpose.

Erionite

Erionite is a naturally occurring mineral that has properties similar to asbestos. Some discovery shows the results of documentation of cases of mesothelioma happened to those who stayed ldidekat discharge area erionite. For more details about erionite please read erionite, a mineral similar to asbestos can cause mesothelioma cancer

Thorium dioxide

Thorium dioxide is a radioactive substance used in x-ray test to diagnose certain conditions. This substance is widely used in the past, around the year 1920-1950. In a couple of studies found that thorium dioxide have a relationship that could lead to the emergence of pleural mesothelioma and peritoneal mesothelioma. Therefore, the use of thorium dioxide already started discontinued because it is dangerous.

Simian virus 40 (SV40)

Some scientists have discovered that simian virus 40 in human cancer cells contained in mesothelioam. Even though the relationship between the virus SV40 and mesothelioma cells remains unclear. However, various studies are still being conducted to gain clarity about the potential of the relationship between the virus SV40 and mesothelioma cells.

Zeolite

In the Journal of the National Cancer Institute explained that the mesothelioma epidemic that occurred in the region Anatoli (Turkey) has a relationship with the zeolite. This substance has been found in the soil Anatoli region, and seen widely spread in the area. Of course this is very dangerous because the zeolite (according to wikipedia) is a chemical compound hydrated alumino-silicates with the cations sodium, potassium, and barium.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)

Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical carbon molecules, which are included in the group of fullerenes. In was discovered by a Japanese scientist, Sumio Iijima in 1991. From various studies, thorium dioxide exposure is suspected to be a risk factor that could lead to the emergence of malignant mesothelioma cancer cells. However, scientists have yet focuses extra attention on this study.
