The dangers associated with exposure to asbestos are no longer being debated. In spite of that, the US has still failed to enact a full ban on asbestos. Because of their failure, many products that US citizens are exposed to can still contain trace amounts of asbestos, such as chalkboards, pipes, heating ducts, and even some types of flooring tiles. Meso 24/7 consumer advocate Katherine mcfarland discusses some of the failures from our federal regulators, and provides a list of some of the harmful products still on the market.

Workers in occupations involved in that manufacture and use of asbestos products were the subject of numerous epidemiological studies prior to 1986 when stringent new laws were imposed regulating this substance. One conclusion of these studies was that these workers had a greatly increased risk of lung cancer.

Video: Old Promotional Film For Asbestos

www.searchmesothelioma.net Both the government and corporate industry used promotional newsreel type films during the 1950s and 1960s to promote the application and widespread use of asbestos products. These films were instrumental to marketing asbestos and generating acceptance by the public. Since the early 1900s, asbestos was known to cause illness and disease in workers who handled the material. Even second-hand contact with asbestos can result in a cancer known as mesothelioma. Due to foreknowledge of the danger and not telling their workers, many corporations have since gone bankrupt from paying out billions in court settlement claims against them.
