The dangers of asbestos include living near a factory that processes it and working with the actual carcinogen

The dangers of asbestos are not limited to people who work with asbestos or family members of asbestos workers.

Simply living near an asbestos product factory can be as dangerous as having family members who work at the plant.

This is because such factories release asbestos into the air which then spreads across the neighborhood.

Further, disasters that destroy buildings such as terrorist attacks or hurricanes can cause release of asbestos into the environment.

Similarly, heavy equipment that is used to demolish structures can rupture building materials and may cause asbestos to be released.

Sadly, this situation is all too familiar to the mesothelioma attorneys in the Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. Asbestos Litigation unit here in the United States.

We are 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.
