The Mesothelioma Victims Center is taking action this week and urging all US homeowners to get to know the potential asbestos hazards lurking in their homes, especially if the home was constructed prior to the 1980s. While the Center's number one goal is the best possible compensation for diagnosed victims of this rare form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, they are also incredibly passionate about preventing any unnecessary and avoidable exposure to the toxic asbestos fibers.
The Center says, "On cable TV ads for mesothelioma, we frequently hear key words such as, 'construction workers' being used, and as true as it is that construction workers in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s were frequently exposed to asbestos on extreme levels, it is also true that many of those homes still contain asbestos. The danger of asbestos exposure come when a homeowner decides to renovate, and begins tearing down asbestos filled materials that release the fibers into the air.
"What we want to do this week is share information on the topic from the EPA. Visit http://www2.epa.gov/asbestos/protect-your-family if you're thinking about working on your home, especially if it was constructed prior to the 1980s."
