About Asbestos |
|
|
Asbestos has been used in countless materials. Workers in the construction, railroad and shipbuilding industries are at the greatest risk of being exposed to asbestos fibers. Asbestos is now heavily regulated by the Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Organization (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Workers exposed to asbestos are at an increased risk of developing lung cancer and mesothelioma, a cancer of the thin membrane that surrounds the lung and other internal organs. The cancers can develop years, or even decades, after the last exposure to asbestos materials. |
Asbestos Deaths Are Skyrocketing, Reports Center for Disease Control |
|
 |
The Center for Disease Control warned Americans in July 2004 that asbestos-related deaths were climbing at an alarming rate. This report underscored the serious health risk asbestos continues to pose to people throughout the United States. The CDC reported that 1,493 people died from diseases caused by asbestos exposure in the year 2000 alone. The governmental agency predicted that the number of deaths will continue to rise over the next decade. |
