What Is The Source?
The Source is the world’s first free AI chatbot dedicated exclusively to asbestos education and prevention. Built on more than 3,000 pages of expertly curated content from ADAO’s extensive digital archives, this innovative tool provides individuals, families, professionals, and policymakers with 24/7 access to reliable and up-to-date information.
This includes:
- Evidence-based facts

“For 20 years, ADAO has harnessed technology to educate, legislate, and elevate asbestos prevention and policy efforts,” said Linda Reinstein, ADAO Co-Founder and President. “This AI-powered chatbot is the next evolution of our commitment—breaking language barriers and putting trusted, lifesaving information into the hands of people worldwide.”
Why The Source Matters
Each year, tens of thousands of people worldwide are harmed by asbestos exposure. All forms of asbestos are carcinogenic and cause deadly illnesses including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and cancers of the lung, larynx, and ovaries. Despite ongoing risks, multilingual, accurate information remains limited and hard to access. The Source bridges this critical information gap by offering real-time answers to essential questions, such as:
- Health Information: What diseases are caused by asbestos exposure?
- Prevention Tips: How can individuals and families protect themselves?
- Medical Guidance: What are the early symptoms of asbestos-related illness? Where can one seek help?
- Legal and Policy Updates: What asbestos laws and regulations exist today?
- Global Perspectives: How are countries worldwide addressing asbestos risks?
How the Chatbot Works
Users can engage with The Source anytime, from any device. Whether on a smartphone, tablet, or computer, questions can be asked and answered in real time. Backed by two decades of advocacy and scientific expertise, the chatbot already responds to over 100 of the most frequently asked questions about asbestos.
Designed to empower and educate, The Source supports:
- Patients and families navigating asbestos-related illness
- Workers and unions seeking protection and rights
- Journalists, researchers, and students pursuing facts
- Policymakers working toward legislative solutions
