The
following article comes to our website from Brian Turner at mesothelioma.com,
with additional links to their website:
On any given day, the brave men and women who serve as firefighters risk their lives battling fires and saving lives. The danger is not over, however, once the fire is out. Firefighters face a less widely known risk as a result of airborne exposure to asbestos and the eventual development of asbestos cancer, which can be found in over 35 million residences and municipal structures nationwide. Prior to 1980, when the use of asbestos was banned, approximately 80% of buildings were constructed using asbestos-containing materials such as insulation, electrical piping, drywall compound and other structural components. When asbestos-containing materials are damaged in a fire, the cancer-causing fibers are released into the air, putting firefighters at risk to potentially inhale them. They are also at great risk even after the fire is extinguished, as these dangerous fibers continue to be released from rubble and debris during the clean up and restoration process. In addition, firefighters also face the threat of exposure from asbestos-containing material within municipal firehouses, many of which are much older structures. Asbestos has been linked to mesothelioma, a deadly cancer that affects the pleural lining of the lungs and has a less than 1% survival rate, as there is currently no known cure. The assumption that asbestos exposure is no longer an imminent threat is invalid, as thousands of firefighters are exposed on a daily basis, some unknowing of the grave danger. Mesothelioma.com provides further information regarding mesothelioma, including mesothelioma treatment options. Please visit mesothelioma.com for additional informational resources. |
