Asbestos is a toxic substance that has been used in hundreds of products in the United States. Exposure to asbestos can cause malignant mesothelioma - a rare cancer affecting the lining of the lungs, abdomen or heart - and other diseases. Remarkably, asbestos has still not been entirely banned in the United States, and Americans continue to risk exposure to this dangerous fiber.
This Web site is dedicated to helping increase awareness about asbestos in America today. It describes the background of asbestos use in the U.S. and the relationship between asbestos and diseases such as mesothelioma. It also discusses timely issues such as legislation, regulations, and other current events regarding asbestos exposure and the rights of asbestos victims, as well as ways you can get involved in promoting positive change.
