Wee Disciples Christian Enrichment Program in Charles Town has been closed down since January 15th when asbestos was found. Everything in the school is considered contaminated by the asbestos, and the more than 200 pre school through 1st grade students have been out of school for two weeks. The school is hoping to use a new facility in the near future.
Asbestos is a very dangerous substance that can lead to terrible diseases and medical conditions such as asbestosis and mesothelioma. Unfortunately, the latency period between exposure to asbestos and the time that symptoms begin to show can be as long as thirty to fifty years. The prognosis for these conditions are rarely good because of this latency period.
If you or someone you know has been exposed to asbestos, contact the West Virginia mesothelioma attorneys of Williams Kherkher at 800-220-9341.
