Miguel has worked for a construction company installing insulation for 40 years and was recently diagnosed with cancer. Based on his work history, which carcinogen was he mostly likely exposed to, and which type of cancer does he most likely have as a result of this environmental exposure?

Answer 1

Miguel, a construction worker who installs insulation, for more than 40 years, has been exposed to ASBESTO all this time. Asbestos is a carcinogenic agent and most likely we are facing a lung cancer. The most exposed workers are those who install thermal insulation, electricians, plumbers, roof installers, among others. Its use is already prohibited in many parts of the world.
