ADAO Educational Materials

This National Asbestos Awareness Resource update is dedicated in loving memory to June Breit and the thousands of other victims silenced by asbestos.  

ASBESTOS IS A CARCINOGEN

"Asbestos can cause cancer and irreversible lung damage.  Asbestos has no warning properties ---you can't see it, smell it or taste it.  Avoid asbestos exposure, and consult the CPSC , EPA , NIOSH , ILO and WHO guidelines, regulations and laws."

Asbestos Statement from Acting Surgeon General Steven K. Galson excerpts:

  1. “I urge every American to become aware of the public health issues of asbestos exposure and the steps they can take to protect their health.

  2. There is no level of asbestos exposure that is known to be safe and minimizing your exposure will minimize your risk of developing asbestos-related disease.

  3. Disturbance is what leads to exposure. Do not attempt to touch or remove asbestos by yourself, consult professionally trained and certified experts to safely handle asbestos or abatement. .

  4. If you think you have been exposed to asbestos, I encourage you to speak to your health care provider.”

ADAO Press Release : “ADAO Congratulates the Acting U.S. Surgeon General, Steven K. Galson, and Thanks the U.S. Senate for Efforts to Encourage Warning about Asbestos Dangers”

6th Annual United States Senate Resolution Designating the first week of April 2009 as ‘National Asbestos Awareness Week'
