Family of Asbestos sprayer: "He never believed it was harmful"

A man who formerly worked as an asbestos sprayer always believed the insulation material was not harmful and told his family as much. Sadly, however, he has just succumbed an asbestos-related disease, according to The Citizen newspaper in the United Kingdom.

The man's daughter said her father began working work for a firm of asbestos sprayers in the early '60s.

According to the report, the man passed away in a nursing home. The cause was "bronchopneumonia due to asbestos-related lung cancer."

Many such deaths have been recorded over decades as due to the carcinogen asbestos.
