Asbestos and Firefighters
Firefighters are among the most at-risk professions for occupational asbestos exposure. And while many believe asbestos to be a hazard of decades ago, the fact is that asbestos still makes up construction components of nearly 80% of homes and other structures built prior to 1980.

Asbestos hazards for firefighters
Firefighters are at risk of repeated asbestos exposure because they work in environments that can release asbestos fibers and over time this can lead to serious health problems including cancer. Following the attacks of September 11th asbestos and many other harmful substances were released into the air which has subsequently sickened hundreds of first responders and people within the area. Our goal is to show firefighters how they can reduce their exposure risks to asbestos and other chemicals by taking simple steps to protect their health..

Mesothelioma
For those diagnosed with mesothelioma, an asbestos-related cancer of the lining of the lung (pleura) or the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum), finding a credible source of information about the disease itself and the medical options available, is of the highest priority. After years of research and synthesis of information, we have assembled a web site and packet for patients and their loved ones. We hope you find this web site helpful.
