MESOTHELIOMA IN LOUISANA
There are more than 100 cases per year of mesothelioma in Louisiana. Of those more than 90% result in death within 6 months. Being exposed to asbestos is not only harmful to your health but can also infect those family members residing with you that come in contact with clothes that have asbestos fibers attached to them.
Along with being exposed at the work place, asbestos is also used in many everyday things we as Americans use. Brake linings for automobiles, insulation in and around your home, and cement used to pave your driveway or swimming pool. There are still many businesses in and around Southern Louisiana that manufacture asbestos. Scary statistics still when the dangers of exposure are known all over the world. Good and breaking news this week; The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee held a hearing on the 16th of June, 2007 to review a proposed ban of asbestos in the United States. The asbestos ban legislation, proposed by Senator Patty Murray, a Democrat from Washington, would amend the Toxic Substances Control Act to prohibit the U.S. from importing, manufacturing, processing, or distributing asbestos-containing products. Asbestos is linked to mesothelioma, which is a rare and dangerous form of cancer and other diseases related to the lung like asbestosis and pneumonia. According to Senator Murray’s office, the U.S. currently imports over $100 million in asbestos containing products yearly, which include brake pads, tile flooring, roof insulation and many construction sit e materials. The EPW heard testimony from a number of public health professionals about the health problems caused by asbestos and how to prevent diseases caused by asbestos.
In addition to proposing the ban on asbestos, Murray’s bill calls for a public awareness campaign about asbestos hazards which many states have already adopted and put to use.
