Asbestos Facts:

Asbestos is an extremely hazardous material that is banned in some countries, but not in the U.S. The amount of asbestos that is now used in U.S. industry is much less than it had been before 1975, but no material that could contain asbestos should be assumed to be asbestos-free without confirmation. Mesothelioma is the most serious Asbestos causing disease. Mesothelioma is a cancer of the cells that make up the lining around the outside of the lungs and inside of the ribs (pleura), or around the abdominal organs (peritoneum). Mesothelioma is a disease that affects not only the victim but also the victim's family. Exposure to asbestos dust can cause several types of cancer, including lung cancer, and a scarring of the lungs called asbestosis.

  • Through 2003, more than 700,000 People have filed claims against more than 6,000 companies. Asbestos companies knew of the dangers for many years before ever warning the public of those risks.
  • About 4,000 People die from Mesothelioma every year, the rare cancer caused by asbestos exposure.
  • It is estimated that 27.5 million Americans were exposed to asbestos between 1940 and 1979. 
  • There are currently about 3000 new cases of Mesothelioma diagnosed per year, mostly in men over the age of 40.
  • It is estimated that there will be about 250,000 cases of Mesothelioma before 2020.
  • Mesothelioma has a latency period of 20 to 50 years after the first exposure to asbestos.
