The following is a statement from the folks at the Mesothelioma Center:

"Currently we are campaigning to educate the general public on how to avoid asbestos exposure within their homes. We understand that local fire departments and associations are tasked with keeping the community safe. Thus, as a public service, we are teaming up with fire associations across the country to help educate the nation about the dangers of asbestos and how to avoid it. This can include how to spot asbestos (pictures), common locations, how to test the air, and even asbestos information specific to your community."

"With more than 3,500 pages of content, our site features information on asbestos, mesothelioma, and other cancers that are caused by asbestos exposure (lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, etc.). Unlike other sites, Asbestos.com has achieved HON code approval (Health On the Net (HON) Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation that works to preserve the accuracy and trustworthiness of Web-based medical information).
