Asbestos Violation is Not a Thing of the Past

Posted by Goldberg, Persky & White P.C.

Asbestos is a product that presently is mostly associated with the past – old mills and textile factories that employed thousands of laborers in the industrial heyday of the United States.

While violating asbestos laws have serious repercussions, asbestos violations are continually happening, which raises the question: should this carcinogen be taken more seriously and is the punishment for mishandling asbestos severe enough?

Positive Genetic Studies and Treatment for Mesothelioma Patients

Posted by Goldberg, Persky & White P.C.
in Asbestos & Mesothelioma News

Understanding malignant mesothelioma and the way it develops is significant when discovering prevention, development control, and the eventual lead to a cure. Cancer researchers at the Mayo Clinic have been researching the genetic composition of the disease in hopes to find a connection between the development of mesothelioma and mutations in DNA. To find these genetic roots, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) was applied. In this study, 11 mesothelioma patients were tested (7 with pleural mesothelioma and 4 with peritoneal mesothelioma). Using the NGS method, patient’s DNA was quickly and accurately analyzed to find genetic mutations. Results showed 86% of those with...

Posted by Goldberg, Persky & White P.C.
in Asbestos & Mesothelioma News

Although asbestos use has been heavily restricted in the United States for decades, homes that were built before 1980 may still contain the material in their floor tiles, insulation, shingles, and drywall. Building materials containing asbestos is not normally dangerous, but they can shed asbestos fibers if they are damaged or disturbed. These microscopic fibers can be inhaled or ingested and lead to serious health problems, including the rare form of cancer known as mesothelioma. The only way to truly know if you have asbestos in your home is to contact an asbestos building tester and have them inspect your home....
