Hidden Asbestos - New Warnings |
|
Asbestos may still be lurking in 1.5 million shops, factories and offices even though it is banned. New research showed that 4,000 people were dying each year in the UK from asbestos-related disease. We can offer free asbestos advice.
Mid term exposure to asbestos, a building material causes major health problems related to the respiratory tract. This building material when moved or disturbed causes small particles of fibers to be dispersed in the air, which, when inhaled causes inflammation, scar-tissue build up or in some cases the deadly cancer.
If you have suffered or suffering as a result of exposure to asbestos a few years back, you may be qualified for a compensation claim. If, you or one of your family members have suffered due to this exposure, a claim solicitor can help you get the right compensation and rehabilitation as required.
Asbestos related illnesses
Asbestos has been a blessing to the human race in the fact that the risk suffered from exposure to it is directly proportional to the exposure. The exposure causes Asbestosis, Pleural plaques, Mesothelioma, Pleural thickening, Emphysema or Lung cancer.
The symptoms of asbestosis take years to manifest themselves. Since the asbestos industry was at its peak during the 1960s and 70s, the adverse health affects are becoming apparent today. The worst of asbestosis is supposed to peak in 2005 as per medical experts and the British Medical Journal.
Compensation Claims
All workers who have had this exposure to asbestos are eligible to compensation regardless of their current financial situation. Since, people who have been long exposed to this deadly material without any fault of their own are entitled to a rightful compensation for all the pain and suffering they have endured.
Brendan Barber, TUC general secretary, said: "All forms of asbestos are dangerous, no matter what some employers might say.
"The cancers caused by the killer fibres can take years to develop, so someone who breathes in asbestos dust now may not become ill for another 25 years.
"We don't want to see any more people exposed to asbestos in future."
A million stickers and thousands of leaflets will be sent to workplaces, bearing the message: "Asbestos Kills."
