Being exposed to asbestos can affect the risk of developing malignant pleural mesothelioma. Many people with the disease have worked or lived in places where they inhaled or swallowed asbestos. After asbestos exposure, it usually takes a long time for symptoms of the condition to occur.
Other risk factors for malignant pleural mesothelioma include:
Living with a person who works near asbestos
Being exposed to a certain virus.
