Mesothelioma and Occupational Cancers in Retired Workers The overwhelming majority of asbestos exposure comes from the workplace.

One interesting study is called, "Respiratory cancer in relation to occupational exposures among retired asbestos workers" by Philip Enterline, Pierre De Coufle, and Vivian Henderson - Br J...more
Asbestos Industry Regulation and Mortality Rates Among Workers Most people are exposed to asbestos in the workplace, often due to lack of proper safety procedures and shortcuts. Some occupations are considered more dangerous than others.

Asbestos Fibers Detected in the Strangest Places Disease development caused by asbestos exposure is well known and documented. One thing that is less known is how ubiquitous asbestos really is. One interesting study is called, "Asbestos fibers in beverages, drinking water, and tissues: Their passage through the intestinal wall and movement through the body" by Cunningham, HM - Pontefract, RD - Journal of the association of official analytical chemists, Volume 56, No 4, P 976-981, July 1973. Here is an excerpt: "Methods were developed using an electron microscope to isolate and count asbestos fibers in liquids and tissues, fibers were detected in beer, sherry, port, vermouth, soft drinks, and city drinking water at levels generally raning from 1 to 11 million per liter. River water was higher in asbestos fibers than water passed through a city filtration system, and melted snow was considerably higher than river water. Asbestos fibers were also detected in parenteral solutions. Distribution studies on asbestos fibers administered to rats were performed with the electron micrsocoe and were supplemented with studies using both tritiated and neutrol...more

Walking for Breast Cancer One of the greatest things that someone can do is to join a cause against breast cancer. One of the ways that many people are doing this nowadays is by signing up for a walk or run that sponsors breast cancer awareness as well as research to help find a cure for cancer. In most states (if not all of them), you can find and register for runs, walks, committees and other types of leadership roles to raise awareness for breast cancer.Often times, it is harder on the family members than it actually is on the woman who is diagnosed. Chemotherapy treatments and sometimes the fact that many women face having to have a mastectomy can wreak havoc on what would have normally been an ordinary life. When you walk in road races that raise awareness for breast cancer, entry fees can vary but are usually anywhere between $25 and up. You don't have to be in fantastic physical shape in order to participate, and in fact- many of the participants are those who have suffered from or are currently battling cancer themselves.Doctors are still uncertain as to the actual causes of breast cancer (as they are also unsure of the causes of other forms of cancers);...more
