The dangers of asbestos are felt around the world: Raising awareness is essential for public safety.

Government leaders have joined forces with the British Lung Foundation to raise awareness of the dangers of asbestos-related cancer mesothelioma, reported the Bolton News newspaper on April 8, 2008, in the United Kingdom.

They are supporting the Foundation's campaign to ensure everyone is aware of the dangers of asbestos, and are calling for more to be done to improve treatment and care for people with mesothelioma.

A survey by The British Lung Foundation indicates that there is a dangerously low level of awareness about the dangers of asbestos amongst the very people who are most at risk of mesothelioma, the article reported.

Weitz & Luxenberg is a leading plaintiffs' law firm that has represented people affected by mesothelioma for over 20 years. Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.
