Mesothelioma and Occupational Cancers in Retired Workers The overwhelming majority of asbestos exposure comes from the workplace. Exposure to hazardous asbestos can be an impetus for disease development such as lung cancer and mesothelioma. 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 Ind Med 1973;30. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - A cohort of 1 348 men who completed their working lifetime in the asbestos industry and retired with an industry pension during the period 1941-67 was observed through 1969 for deaths.

Online skin care companies can provide much higher quality ingredients that are free from any harmful chemicals.Deep wrinkles occur because of a lack of collagen and oxidation by free radicals. Basically, as you get older, even from your late twenties onwards, you start to make less of this important protein.Collagen helps to maintain the elasticity which helps you skin to snap back into place and a lack of it results in wrinkles and lines forming. Oxidation by free radicals is also a result of your body producing less antioxidants as you age and if not treated, free radicals can lead to premature aging and disease.Only the best treatments for deep wrinkles actually address these...more
