Mesothelioma Victims Center Lists Out Common Questions Asked About Mesothelioma And Answers Them Using Research From The US Environmental Protection Agency
(PRWEB) August 25, 2014 -- The Mesothelioma Victims Center is urging individuals who had heavy exposure to asbestos multiple decades ago at a workplace such as at a shipyard, power plant, manufacturing facility, or while serving in the US Navy to get up-to-speed on asbestos and asbestos related illnesses such as mesothelioma.
Typically the Center hears from a family whose loved one has been recently diagnosed with mesothelioma. All too often the individual is in a late stage of this rare form of cancer which is scary because the window of time to act on compensation or treatment options is narrow. As the Center would like to explain with one call to 866-714-6466 time is of the essence, and the quality of the mesothelioma attorney matters, if the diagnosed victim, or their family members are concerned about the best possible compensation.
To better help educate victims and family members, the group has composed a Q&A based upon the most frequently asked questions. The group answers these questions using the expert research of the EPA.
Q: “What is Asbestos?”
A: “Asbestos is a mineral fiber that occurs in rock and soil.”
Q: “Where Can I Find Asbestos?”
A: “Because of its fiber strength and heat resistance asbestos has been used in a variety of building construction materials for insulation and as a fire retardant. Asbestos has also been used in a wide range of manufactured goods, mostly in building materials (roofing shingles, ceiling and floor tiles, paper products, and asbestos cement products), friction products (automobile clutch, brake, and transmission parts), heat-resistant fabrics, packaging, gaskets, and coatings.”
