Resource Summary Page

Mesothelioma & Asbestos Awareness Center

 Mesothelioma is a rare cancer which is caused only by exposure to asbestos fibers. On and after September 11, thousands of people in the lower Manhattan area were directly exposed to the toxic cloud created by the collapse of the towers - which contained an estimated 400 tons of asbestos. Due to the long latency period, these individuals are just now starting to become ill with mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases.

Mesothelioma.com

Mesothelioma.com is one of the Internet’s greatest resources for those seeking information about this life-threatening disease.  Our researchers spend countless hours preparing the most up-to-date information about the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of mesothelioma and other asbestos related diseases.
