Air force engineer with mesothelioma to fight for asbestos settlement.

A recent article in the news told the story of a man with an asbestos disease who worked in the United States Air Force for 32 years.

The man had been an engineer and he believes he contracted the lung disease--mesothelioma--while sweeping the asbestos-roofed hangars and other old buildings belonging to the air force.

In fact, asbestos was used frequently to build Air Force bases in the United States and abroad.

Asbestos was routinely added to concrete blocks used in foundations, roofing shingles and tar, floor and ceiling tiles and wallboard and joining compounds.

It was also used to insulate hot water pipes, hot water tanks, ducts for heating and cooling systems and spaces around fireplaces and heaters.

Many who worked in the air force have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.
