Action Mesothelioma Day
Friday 2
nd July
Today, Friday, 2nd July 2010, the
British Lung Foundation is raising
awareness of asbestos related diseases by promoting Action
Mesothelioma Day.
Mesothelioma is a cancer which develops in the
chest and lungs. It is known to develop after exposure to asbestos
but diagnosis can be delayed by between 15 and 60 years.
The BLF campaign for 2010 focuses on DIY in
the home and aims to educate how easily people can disturb asbestos
that was used in the construction, when making home
improvements.
Read how to dispose of asbestos safely and
other top tips on handling asbestos on the
British Lung Foundation website.
At Hodge Jones & Allen LLP, we have specialist solicitors
who can advise you and help you claim for asbestos related disease
compensation. Contact asbestos solicitor
Simon O'Loughlin for further information.
