Environmental advocate Erin Brockovich trusts the lawyers of Weitz & Luxenberg. Find out why. 
Introduction:
Welcome to Mesothelioma Center, a website dedicated to providing readers with helpful information on the high-risk jobs associated with asbestos exposure and how this occupational exposure can lead to certain health concerns.
The United States has substantially reduced its consumption of asbestos, yet it continues to consume almost 2,000 metric tons of the dangerous mineral for use in certain products throughout the Nation, according to the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO). Sadly, the risk of contracting mesothelioma after working with asbestos is ongoing.
For this reason, Mesothelioma Center offers important information about workplace exposure. Use these pages to find information about your job site and whether it may be responsible for asbestos-related illnesses such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.
The industry groups with the highest incidence rates of asbestos-related diseases, based on 2000 to 2002 figures, were shipyard workers, builders ofvehicle bodies (including rail vehicles),pipefitters, carpenters and electricians, construction workers (including insulation and stripping workers), extraction workers, energy and water supply workers, and manufacturing workers, according to the ADAO.
We invite you to explore this site and get resources on mesothelioma medical research; connect to other people in an online forum, and learn more about the legal steps you may take if you have been diagnosed with an asbestos related disease.
