The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) today announced its support for the Surgeon General’s statement acknowledging the dangers of asbestos and thanks the U.S. Senate for continued efforts to encourage a warning. The discovery of the April 1, 2009 Acting U.S. Surgeon General statement is greatly appreciated by ADAO, who has always encouraged an official warning about asbestos dangers, as recommended by a U.S. Senate Resolution establishing the first week of April as “National Asbestos Awareness Week.” The statement specifies: “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.” It also underscores the need for a ban, stating, “…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.”
