Mesothelioma Compensation Center Points to a Recent News Article about Ambler, Pennsylvania Asbestos “Legacy” and How Significant Secondhand Exposure Can Be
(PRWEB) November 20, 2014 -- The Mesothelioma Compensation Center says, "We recently came across a news article about a town in Pennsylvania that talked about asbestos exposure. One thing jumped out at us immediately—the mentioning of secondhand exposure to asbestos. What will be taking place over the next four years is exciting news. According to the article, 'The University of Pennsylvania's Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology has received a $10 million federal grant to seek answers.'
“According to the article, another surprising trend arose from the current data on the town. 'The rate of mesothelioma in Ambler was greater for women than for men. Presumably, men in the factories would have had higher occupational exposure. Women would have been exposed to a lesser degree by, say, asbestos dust brought home on their husbands' clothes.' We here at the center are excited to share this article for those interested in knowing more about mesothelioma.”
The Mesothelioma Compensation Center is a national leader in compensation for diagnosed victims of mesothelioma. They are urging diagnosed victims of mesothelioma and/or their family members to call 866-714-6466 before retaining the services of a law firm to advance a mesothelioma compensation claim. The skill of the mesothelioma compensation attorney matters, especially when it comes to a compensation claim based on secondhand exposure of the victim.
