News Update: Bloomsburg asbestos lawyer report

April 22, 2009 – The state of Pennsylvania is ranked No. 4 in the nation (after California, Florida and New York) for deaths attributed specifically to mesothelioma and asbestosis, says a unique study of U.S. asbestos-related mortalities. The study was conducted by the EWG Action Fund, a non-profit environmental research group headquartered in Washington, D.C.

This first-ever detailed study of U.S. deaths from asbestos exposure distinguishes mortality statistics on three levels – state, county and city – as reported to the federal government via death certificate records from 1979 through 2001.

According to the study, there are two government-listed asbestos contamination sites in Pennsylvania; one in Ellwood City, the other at New Castle. Approximately 2,000 residents live within a one-half-mile radius of each of these site, says the study.

Meanwhile, five counties in Pennsylvania are on the study’s list of the Top 100 counties in the U.S. recording deaths from mesothelioma or asbestosis. They are: Philadelphia County (ranked No. 3), Delaware County (No. 13); Allegheny County (No. 16); Montgomery County (No. 17) and Lancaster County (No. 84).

In the next decade, 35,000 people nationwide are expected to be diagnosed with mesothelioma, the deadliest of asbestos-related cancers.

Mesothelioma is most often the result of industrial workplace exposure to asbestos, and usually contracted through employers’ emphasis on profits rather than the health and safety of workers. That’s why workers diagnosed with mesothelioma and their surviving family members have strong cases in court.
