In recent asbestos news, a man whose mother died from mesothelioma cancer says the asbestos gravel driveway at his family home probably contributed to his mother's cancer.
He says while his mother would have been exposed to asbestos fibers by her husband, who worked with asbestos every day, the gravel driveway was a contributing factor in the mesothelioma lung disease.
In decades past, asbestos was once a popular substitute for gravel and concrete and that it was common practice to use it to build domestic driveways, paths and garage floors.
In a new book, a former engineer alleges thousands of driveways would have been built in this way.
It cites numerous asbestos manufacturers that knew the substance was deadly but continued to allow workers to use it.
Asbestos driveways are thought to be difficult to recognize as the only difference are the small glistening fibers.
Many gravel and concrete workers have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.
