In fact, a new set of problems has arisen since the project began, the most concerning one being the threat of asbestos cancer. The Government Accountability Office said earlier this week that the cleanup work is nowhere near over, with more than 6,000 homes still needing to be

Back in 2007, some years after dozens of Iron-Range-area Minnesota miners who worked in a taconite mine died of mesothelioma, an investigation was begun to find out exactly what about the taconite mining process is causing these deaths. Because medical science knows that asbestos exposure is the primary cause of mesothelioma, the fact that information about miners’ deaths from mesothelioma was withheld—and workers were never advised of the risk of having asbestos or other fibers in the material

Citizens were upset tha

August 29, 2008 By: Category: Uncategorized The winds of change are blowing through the UK’s employment legislation and it could well be an ill wind that blows nobody any good because the Government wants to scrap laws that require employers to retain insurance policy records for at least 40 years. On the face of it that may seem a long time to hold on to records but there are a number of very serious industrial diseases which have a long incubation time often mani

Asbestos…in your attic? By Richard Stone Are you looking to add insulation in your attic to lower your home cooling or heating costs? If so, be wary of the insulation already present—it may contain asbestos. While asbestos is generally associated with big businesses in manufacturing, it has also been used in other various products throughout most of the 20th Century. One of the products includes the insulation in the attics of homes built (or remodeled) before the late 1980s. Contractors us

Tip! Chrysotile, or white asbestos 2. Crocidolite, or blue asbestos 3. Mesothelioma is a rare but deadly type of cancer usually caused by exposure to asbestos or asbestos-containing products. The mesothelium is a thin mucous membrane that covers most major organs, and provides the moisture the organs need to move properly.
