Mesothelioma lawyers in Georgia fighting a never ending battle

Asbestos use has a long history. Marco Polo was give a robe that wouldn't burn when he travelled to Siberia. And it is its fire retardant and insulating properties, combined with it's fibrous and flexible nature that made it a popular product. At the height of it's use there was asbestos in most electrical appliances, in ceiling insulation, in fireplace cement as well as insulation and drywall, flooring and ceilings. Many ships in the US Navy had large amounts of Asbestos around its pipes, as boiler lining and engine covers, even many turbine parts were made from asbestos.

But it has been known since 1906 that there were health issues with Asbestos. By 1924 asbestosis was recognized in the UK and by 1931 mesothelioma was first used. The actual firm association of mesothelioma to asbestos was noted by the mid 1940s.

It has been shown in court during the 1970s that the asbestos industry knew of the health risk associated with asbestos but actually concealed the knowlege. The Ship builders of the hampton roads have suffered a cancer rate seven fold that of the national average and that the statistic show that 1.4% of people who have worked with asbestos contract asbestosis, mesthelioma or othe asbestos related diseases. These are all fatal although with treatment the life span may be prolonged.

When the terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center on 9/11 they suceeded in releasing possible 1,000 tons into the atmosphere which may account for a higher than normal cancer rate among the emergency workers since the disaster. But because asbestos is a slow killer and it's symptoms may not manifest themselves for decades the final death toll is unknown and many more passers by are still possible future victims.

The use of asbestos has now been banned throughout most of the world. Asbestos illness are very unpleasant, manifesting themselves in th lungs well after exposure and the consequent illness is almost always fatal.
