Secondhand Exposure to Asbestos Led to Six Surgeries

[williamwinn]

My grandfarther worked in shipyards in the early 20s in Boston and he died in 1985, coughing up pieces of his lung, it also went into my grandmothers lungs cleaning his cloths and my fathers since he also worked in a shipyard in the 60s. We won a big lawsuit over that, but I'll never forget being 5 years old and watching the look on his face not being able to get enough air.

I work a company Moran Environmental and they are always to being called in to remove asbestos and they must wear full protective gear with air supply. They used it in everything and still today a town in Russia called Asbest has an open pit asbestos mine. They totally deny the link between asbestos and cancer. Thank you for sharing.

It is shocking how many cases of second-hand exposure we have been seeing at my practice.

I recall reading about an awarded legal judgment in America as being one of the highest in history . The details behind the case were so very similar to this story .

I understand your concern, the risk of developing cancer from casual exposure to asbestos, such as hugging someone with dusty work clothes, is extremely low. Most asbestos-related cancers occur after prolonged, direct exposure in industrial settings over many years. It’s more likely that other factors contributed to the diagnosis in cases where individuals have had only brief or indirect contact.
It sounds like this person may have been trying to connect their cancer to asbestos exposure for compensation.
