– No. 1 County in New Jersey for Asbestos-Related Mortalities

A Weitz & Luxenberg asbestos-injury lawyer on the dangers of asbestos exposure to Glouster residents living in Camden County, NJ.

Out of 21 New Jersey counties surveyed, Glouster’s own Camden County has the disturbing distinction of being the No. 1 county in the state for asbestos-related deaths – this, according to a groundbreaking study by the EWG Action Fund, a non-profit environmental research group headquartered in Washington, D.C.

The independent study is the first-ever wide-range examination of asbestos-related U.S. mortality statistics. The report distinguishes death rates on three levels – state, county and city – as reported to the federal government via death certificate records from 1979 through 2001.
