Remodeling and Asbestos Exposure One of the more common ways people are exposed to asbestos is during the remodeling of older homes. Unfortunately, few are aware of this hazard and as a result necessary precautions are seldom taken. Exposure to asbestos is known to cause a variety of diseases, such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma cancer. Every year, between 2,000 and 3,000 cases of malignant mesothelioma are diagnosed. Knowing what to look for, how to avoid exposure, and where to find local abatement companies can protect you and your family from exposure to asbestos. These resources and more can be found at The Asbestos and Mesothelioma Center, the web’s leading source for information concerning asbestos and the diseases that result from exposure to this hazardous material. |
