Asbestos dust can be released from pipes, ceiling tiles, and other building materials, causing mesothelioma to develop years later. Mesothelioma has developed in people who have been exposed to asbestos in small amounts and for short periods of time as well as in those with long-term exposure. The following are examples of places where asbestos was widely used:
