Most of the body's internal organs are covered with a protective sac called the mesothelium. Mesothelioma cancer occurs when malignant or cancerous cells appear in the mesothelium. The lungs, heart, and abdominal organs are the most commonly affected organs. Of these, the lung lining (plueral mesothelioma) is most typically infected.

When these spills and dumps occur, the land is left contaminated and runs the risk of causing health problems for area residents. In an effort to clean up toxic sites, the Environmental Protection Agency has created an environmental program that does nothing but address abandoned hazardous waste sites. The Superfund is the name given to the program created by the EPA as well as the name of a fund established by Congress in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980.
