Asbestos found in Pennsylvania high school

by Administrator 10. March 2010 18:07

In February, a high school in Pennsylvania found over 60,000 square feet of asbestos filled tiles.

The substitute superintendent has said that he doesn't think that the school will be closed for an entire year while removing the asbestos. The goal is to tightly control the removal process so that people who are in seperate areas of the building will not be put in a harmful situation. Investogators have said that the school also has toxic glue holding the carpets down so the process will involve more than just the asbestos removal. They are considering moving the students to another school for one year, but a formal decision has not yet been made.

Dentists May be at Risk of Developing Mesothelioma

by Administrator 22. February 2010 18:00

Dentists may be at a higher than average risk for developing mesothelioma, a cancer caused by exposure to asbestos.

Since 1930, asbestos was used for the lining material for casting rings in the field of dentistry. Because dentists work in small examination rooms, they have a higher chance of inhaling asbestos. The continued inhaling also makes dentists more susceptible then other careers. When asbestos particles are inhaled, they lodge themselves into the lining of the lung. A tumor than develops but symptoms of the tumor may not develop for 20 to 50 years.

If you think that you have been exposed to asbestos in the field of dentistry or in any other field of work, contact the Mesothelioma lawyers of Wiliams Kherkher by calling 800-781-3955 today.
