Since 2004, the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization has given asbestos victims and concerned citizens a united voice to raise public awareness about the threat that asbestos exposure poses to public health. Now 6,000 strong, ADAO is the largest international organization dedicated to preventing asbestos-related diseases through education and legislation. Every day during National Asbestos Awareness Week (April 1 – 7, 2010), ADAO will empower the public with information on asbestos and its commercial use; how to prevent exposure in homes, schools, and in workplaces; early warning symptoms and medical treatment options; and clarify that asbestos is not a banned product in the United States and is still be using in common household products.  Knowledge is stronger than asbestos. Linda Reinstein
