Asbestos use in America is on the rise again.

Asbestos use in America is on the rise again. This comes after decades worth of evidence proving asbestos can lead to death.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) released new data this week reporting an increase in annual mesothelioma deaths in the United States.

According to the report, “During 1999–2015, the annual number of malignant mesothelioma deaths increased 4.8% overall, from 2,479 in 1999 to 2,579 in 2015.”

This confirms what we in the asbestos victim community have known for years: As much as people want to believe asbestos is a problem of the past, we know all too well that it remains a threat to this day. This new CDC data is proof.

"While the biggest increase in number of deaths was among people 85 and older — which is in line with the 10-50 year latency period associated with asbestos disease — the comprehensive report also lists 682 mesothelioma deaths among people 25-44 years old. The report did not analyze asbestos-related deaths for individuals younger than 25."

Horrible article from an azz rag source.

It's not that Asbestos is back in use in America....It was used for a long time and it's still in older structures....

OSHA has long espoused limits on how much asbestos can legally be present in a workplace, though the agency maintains that there is no safe level of exposure to asbestos. Unfortunately, though, the CDC report says that “20% of air samples collected in the construction industry in 2003 for compliance purposes exceeded the OSHA permissible exposure limit.”

The EPA, after concluding that the asbestos posed an undue threat to human health, attempted to ban asbestos in 1989, only to have the ban overturned in appeals 1991 thanks to weak chemical safety laws that hamstrung the EPA’s regulatory capacity. The EPA has since only managed to regulate five asbestos applications, and as such “asbestos products remain in use, and new asbestos-containing products continue to be manufactured in or imported into the United States.”

As old structures containing asbestos are demolished there will be issues. It costs a lot of money to dispose of it properly, that's after it's been identified.

Of course, gutting the EPA and stuffing the courts with conservative judges won't have any

consequences on this issue.

I realize that voicing concerns for the well-being of others is foreign to you compassionate conservatives,
but you really should try it sometime. That might make you feel better since you miss your first wife so much. I wouldn't know about that-- been with the same woman for 30 years now.
