This week we have found a report that focuses on a specific subdivision of those at risk for mesothelioma; construction workers. The report lists out where asbestos hazards might be found in a home constructed during the decades previously mentioned. The list should serve as a point of reference for those who worked in the construction field. Contact the center at 866-714-6466 if any of the following products or locations in the home sound like something you may have come in contact with.”
