The research we do for our client's cases results in a large amount of pertinent and up to date information on asbestos, the asbestos industry, asbestos cancers and treatment options. We have compiled that information here in an on-line information library. We hope that by providing this information, we create a valuable resource, which will benefit people who have access to it. This section will be updated regularly as we uncover new and important information.
There are a number of alternatives to using asbestos products when constructing a new home or commercial building, and many of these are considered to be "green" options, as they are good for the environment and are also easy on a budget. It is important to educate yourself as to how each alternative works before choosing which product to use. Our section on asbestos alternatives provides information about several popular and cost-effective options, all of which are safe, affordable, and environmentally friendly.
Jobsites
If you or a relative has ever worked at one of the Jobsites listed, you may have been exposed to high levels of asbestos and could be at risk to develop asbestos cancer including malignant mesothelioma.
Who is at Risk?
Virtually anyone who breathed asbestos dust. Exposures usually occur at major construction Jobsites, in shipyards, onboard navy vessels and during construction or renovation of commercial buildings. People in the vicinity of boilers and piping often are at risk. In addition, teachers, students, and other staff members who work in older school buildings may be at risk of exposure to asbestos products, such as ceiling or floor tiles. Equally at risk are families of these workers, as asbestos often was carried home on clothing.
