Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. 

 Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 63-year-old man from with a 2-month progressive history of shortness of breath. initial radiologic studies showed a left pleural mass which was biopsied and shown to be an epithelial type malignant mesothelioma with no evidence of metastasis. the patient denies exposure to asbestos but does state that his father was a shipbuilder during world war ii who would have worked with asbestos. the patient had lost 17 pounds in the last two to three weeks. past medical history: coronary artery disease, status post left anterior descending artery percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in . no diabetes or other cas. past surgical history: hernia operation. allergies: no known drug allergies. medications on admission: , . physical examination on admission: initial weight was 215 pounds, sao2 92% on room air. cardiovascular revealed a regular rate and rhythm. abdomen had no masses, soft, nontender, and nondistended. extremities had no peripheral edema. hospital course: on the patient was brought to the operating room with an initial diagnosis of mesothelioma, and the patient had a left extra pleural pneumonectomy which he tolerated well and was transferred to the surgical intensive care unit. on postoperative day one, the patient did well. the patient's intensive care unit stay was uneventful, and the patient was transferred to the floor on . the patient initially progressed well with ambulation and was scheduled for discharge home. on postoperative day eight, the patient was noted to have orthostatic hypotension with a decrease between 10 to 30 units systolic blood pressure. on postoperative day nine, the patient continued to have orthostatic hypotension and was given 150 cc piggyback of albumin which resulted in no change in his orthostatic numbers. the highest physical therapy level the patient achieved during his hospital stay was a stage iv, and at discharge was roughly a stage iii. the patient was reassessed, and the decision was made to transfer the patient to rehabilitation to continue with physical therapy. physical examination on discharge: temperature 98.4 fahrenheit, heart rate 67, respiratory rate 20, 97% on room air, blood pressure 110/70, 70 cc in p.o. and 90 cc out of urine. cardiovascular had a regular rate and rhythm. respiratory was clear to auscultation with decreased breath sounds on the left. abdomen was soft, nontender, and nondistended, positive bowel sounds. the incision was clean, dry and intact. extremities had slight peripheral edema with swelling. complications and significant events: orthostatic hypotension. medications on discharge: 1. lopressor 12.5 mg p.o. b.i.d. (hold for a systolic blood pressure less than 100). 2. amiodarone 400 mg p.o. b.i.d. times seven days, then 400 mg p.o. q.d. 3. zantac 150 mg p.o. b.i.d. 4. serax 15 mg p.o. q.h.s. p.r.n. 5. dulcolax suppository 30 mg p.r.n. 6. milk of magnesia 30 cc p.o. q.d. p.r.n. 7. ibuprofen 800 mg p.o. q.8.h. q.h.s. condition at discharge: good and stable. discharge status: to rehabilitation facility. discharge followup: follow up was to be with dr. in one to two weeks. discharge diagnoses: 1. status post left extrapleural pneumonectomy. 2. metastatic mesothelioma. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours fiber-optic bronchoscopy other excision of pleura diagnoses: coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty status secondary and unspecified malignant neoplasm of intrathoracic lymph nodes malignant neoplasm of other specified sites of pleura 

Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to
