The story of a woman who died of cancer after washing her husband's asbestos-stained work clothes for several years was introduced. According to foreign media outlets such as the British Derillerer and Daily Mail on the 6th (local time), Veronica Kidman (72), who lived in Wymondham, Norfolk, England, died a week after being diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma in January. Malignant mesothelioma is a cancer that occurs in the membranes surrounding organs such as the pleura or peritoneum. The bereaved family believes that indirect exposure to asbestos fibers while washing her husband's work clothes decades ago may have caused the disease. Veronica's husband, Ian Kidman, worked as a field engineer at British telecommunications company BT from 1971 to 1989. He worked at homes, businesses, telephone exchanges, repair centers, etc., repairing broken telephone lines and exchanges. According to the bereaved family, whenever Ian came home from work, his clothes and hair were covered in dust, and Veronica scrubbed and washed Ian's work clothes by hand several times a week. Work clothes are always heavily contaminated, so they are washed three times even when washed.
