Joseph Stembridge's blog ::Asbestos disease can take years to come on






Joseph Stembridge's blog ::Asbestos disease can take years to come on










               Asbestos               is               a               natural               substance               used               for               centuries               in               a               variety               of               applications.

The               ancient               Greeks               knew               of               its               ability               to               retard               flame.

They               had               slaves               weave               it               into               cloth               for               use               in               a               variety               of               areas.

Their               medical               professionals               also               noted               that               those               slaves               got               sick               with               some               sort               of               lung               disorder               when               working               with               the               fibers.

Use               declined               during               the               Middle               Ages.

The               Industrial               Revolution               brought               it               to               the               mainstream               starting               in               the               late               1800s.

When               mining               operations               uncovered               large               deposits,               many               companies               began               using               these               natural               fibers               in               all               sorts               of               applications.

By               1900,               you               could               find               asbestos               in               turbines,               boilers,               ovens,               and               other               areas               with               high               temperatures.
               Navy               Use               Starts
               Starting               in               the               1930s,               the               Navy               started               using               asbestos               all               over               the               place.

They               were               like               a               lot               of               industrial               centers.

They               need               flame               proof               materials               to               cover               their               boilers,               engine               rooms,               and               pipes.

Asbestos               was               readily               available               and               easy               to               work               with.

It               was               also               affordable.

After               World               War               II,               the               old               Navy               ships               were               showing               their               age.

By               the               1930s,               the               US               Department               of               Navy               began               replacing               many               of               these               older               ships               with               modern               designs.

That               is               when               the               use               of               asbestos               became               a               regular               thing               on               military               ships.

It               provides               a               cheap               and               easy               way               to               protect               the               ship               from               fire               and               heat.

It               also               made               the               boilers               and               engines               run               more               efficiently.
               1939
               In               1939,               the               Navy               made               it               mandatory               to               use               asbestos               in               all               ships.

Why               make               it               mandatory?

World               War               II               was               already               getting               started               in               Europe.

Many               Americans               heard               the               thunder               of               war               coming               across               the               ocean               towards               the               US.

Because               asbestos               was               common               in               many               areas               of               the               US,               leaders               wanted               to               promote               the               use               of               American               products               in               military               applications.

Asbestos               was               easy               to               get,               cheap               to               use,               and               had               many               uses.

It               was               a               workhorse               for               navy               ships               of               this               era.

That               use               continued               throughout               World               War               II               and               the               following               decades.
               The               concerns               about               asbestos               in               Navy               ships               started               in               1939               also.

The               Brooklyn               Ship               Yard               had               several               workers               that               were               beginning               to               show               signs               of               asbestos               exposure.

The               Navy               Surgeon               General               issued               a               report               that               year               outlining               the               hazards               that               this               asbestos               posed               to               those               workers               as               well               as               naval               personnel.

The               military               brass               decided               to               ignore               that               warning.

Use               of               asbestos               continued               for               four               more               decades               in               Navy               vessels.
               The               1930s               through               the               1980s
               Navy               vessels               built               between               1930               and               the               early               1970s               had               a               great               deal               of               asbestos               use               throughout               the               entire               vessel.

All               the               ships               commissioned               for               World               War               II               were               heavily               vested               in               the               stuff.

As               modern               ships               came               up               to               replace               them,               the               asbestos               migrated               to               the               newer               vessels               also.

Health               concerns               about               asbestos               began               creating               concern               in               the               military               around               1970.

However,               use               continued               for               another               decade               before               it               ended.

Despite               the               end               of               its               use               in               building               new               ships,               older               ships               still               had               plenty               of               the               stuff               hanging               around.

Use               of               repair               materials               containing               asbestos               remained               on               the               agenda               through               the               1980s.
               Today
               Asbestos               is               still               in               use               today               in               some               capacities               within               the               Navy.

Asbestos               is               still               an               ingredient               in               some               materials               brought               on               board               Navy               ships.

There               are               still               ships               afloat               carrying               the               colors               that               contain               asbestos.

This               continuing               hazard               is               not               nearly               as               toxic               as               it               was               in               decades               past,               but               it               is               still               there.

    Joseph Stembridge's blog ::Mesothelioma- Asbestos Poisoning And Mesothelioma Lawsuits










    Libby,               Montana               population               2,626               and               dropping.

    Libby               is               largely               supported               by               the               use               of               natural               resources               of               logging               and               mining.

    Mining               as               in               that               of               vermiculite.

    Vermiculite               is               used               for               high               temperature               insulation.

    It               is               also               known               to               cause               asbestos               poisoning.

    Prior               to               logging,               it               was               the               number               one               source               of               employment               in               the               town               of               Libby.

    Government               investigators               have               found               that               274               deaths               can               be               attributed               to               asbestos               from               the               mine.

    They               also               found               that               1               in               5               suffer               from               illness,               related               to               the               same               problem.

    Since               May               of               2000,               the               EPA               has               spent               $120               million               in               cleanup.
                   On               June               17,               2009,               the               EPA               declared               it's               first               public               health               emergency.

    The               emergency               covers               both               Libby               and               nearby               Troy,               Montana.

    It               will               provide               an               extra               130               million               dollars               for               cleanup               and               medical               assistance.

    This               shows               how               serious               the               EPA               takes               the               environment               of               Libby.

    Senators               Baucus               and               Tester               have               fought               hard               to               bring               awareness               to               the               problem               in               Libby.

    Although               the               Libby               asbestos               situation               have               been               in               the               sights               of               the               EPA,               not               much               action               was               taken.
                   While               the               EPA               has               worked               through               the               years               to               clean               up               the               asbestos,               the               health               related               problem               has               still               remained.

    Amphibole               Asbestos               still               remains               a               threat               throughout               the               area.

    It               is               one               of               the               leading               causes               of               Lung               Cancer.

    The               Libby               mine,               which               closed               in               1990,               provided               over               70               percent               of               all               vermiculite               sold               in               the               United               States.
                   The               dust               not               only               spread               by               air,               but               it               was               used               for               driveways               and               roads,               gardens,               and               playgrounds.

    No               matter,               which               way               residents               turned,               they               were               exposed               to               this               deadly               toxin.

    For               years,               nobody               knew               for               sure               why               here               were               deaths               and               increase               in               illnesses.

    It               was               always               suspected,               but               not               known               for               sure.
                   Through               the               years,               the               dust               would               drift               through               the               valley               and               settle               on               the               tops               of               cars               and               homes.

    Individuals               that               worked               outside               were               exposed               to               it               on               a               daily               basis.

    It               took               a               new               administrator               of               the               EPA               Lisa               Jackson               and               the               two               Senators               to               get               financial               assistance               to               the               community.
