Mesothelioma is a terrible disease. It affects people who are exposed to fibres of asbestos and asbestos dust. Mesothelioma can be cancerous (malignant form) or non-cancerous (benign form of mesothelioma), when the fibres of asbestos or asbestos dust is inhaled, it enters the body and travels through the organs of the body, organs of the body as the heart and the lungs, abdomen have a lining known as mesothelium lining. When this lining comes into contact with asbestos particles, it starts to behave abnormally. Asbestos fibres are the mesothelium of rapidly dividing cells. In addition, these cells start to survive other cells. This leads to tumors in this part of the body. This body condition is known as mesothelioma. The tumors can also extend to other parts of the body.

The worst of this disease is that it has a very long period of latency of approximately 20 to 40 years. In addition, this disease has no known cure. Thus, the only way to check the spread of this disease is by the prohibition of asbestos. Although many countries such as USA, UK and the Japan have banned asbestos, mesothelioma deaths continue. This is because the disease has a huge latent period. It is expected that the Member of mesothelioma deaths will arrow in the years 2015 to 2020. However, there is only one country, "Sweden", which has shown a constant decrease in the number of mesothelioma cases. See how and why this was possible in Sweden.

Statistics of mesothelioma in Sweden

There are now approximately 100 000 cases of mesothelioma around the world. Even more is expected over the next 10 years all around the globe. In 1961 - 2000, Sweden has recorded about 2190 cases of mesothelioma. On average, this statistic is approximately 52 cases per year. However, the year 1993 was a terrible period as the number of cases of mesothelioma a peak high in this year.

After 1993 there was a progressive decrease in the number of mesothelioma cases. The year 2003, the Sweden had about 20 cases of mesothelioma by the million people per year. The same year, Britain had about 39 cases per million population. While everyone was the problem of the increase in cases of mesothelioma, the Sweden was the only country where there is a steady decline in the Member of mesothelioma. The reasons for this change must be analysed.

Immediate action by the Sweden

The Sweden is the only country who took immediate measures against deadly mesothelioma. It imposed an immediate ban of asbestos. The first immediate reaction of the Sweden began in 1964 itself. The first of the Sweden asbestos regulation dates back to 1964. The year 1976, Sweden began to impose very strict regulations on the importation and use of asbestos. 1986-1988 was another landmark for the Sweden. During these years, Sweden has imposed a complete ban of asbestos. The Sweden is the first country in the European union to impose a complete ban on all types of asbestos. Many countries do not prohibit white asbestos or chrysotile. The reason given by them, is that white asbestos does not cause harm if used with appropriate guarantees. However, as the real reason behind their inaction is that the immediate economic performance makes blind for the future of the public health of millions. Sweden is an exception to this rule. It prohibits all types of asbestos.

Another important lesson to learn from the Sweden is that white asbestos is also very harmful. 90% of the asbestos used in Sweden was white asbestos. When all the
Types of asbestos have been banned in Sweden. There was a drastic decrease
the number of mesothelioma cases. This clearly proves that the same white asbestos is very harmful. It can lead to many diseases such as asbestosis, fibrosis, asbestos warts and deadly mesothelioma. The main reason for the decrease in cases of mesothelioma in Sweden is because the Sweden brought an immediate and rapid action to control the disease.

Sweden campaign against the disease began in 1964 itself. The largest number of deaths due to occupational diseases in Sweden is always reason for mesothelioma. If this is the case in Sweden, then it is frightening to think that the condition in other countries. Other countries should begin to act immediately. Countries such as the India have not prohibited white asbestos, stating that there is no scientific evidence that it is dangerous. It's absolute gibberish. White asbestos is also very harmful and all countries should follow the example of the Sweden and prohibit all types of asbestos mining, manufacturing and use. Then only the number of mesothelioma cases reduce in the future. The world will be a better place to live, in the future.
