Law prohibiting the use of asbestos or made at least a requirement to inform workers that they will work with asbestos was passed in 1980. Before that people in the factory, mining industry workers exposed to asbestos and asbestos without knowledge of the facts.

They are endangered as well as any family member and that after the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets limits enacted laws that allow only a minimal level for asbestos exposure in the workplace. However, even then the danger of asbestos exposure remains. While people in the workplace are now required to wear protective gear, not all follow the rules defined industries.

Native Alabamians worked in foundries, mills, welding and construction industry and the mining of asbestos has been exposed to asbestos fibers and is in danger of contracting Mesothelioma. Symptoms developed after more than three decades and the rapid and lethal effect.

Mesothelioma is a man-made threat and should be abolished in all states, especially Alabama.

Here are the figures for the number of deaths, death rates (per million population), and years of potential life lost (YPLL) at Alabama State in 1999, among the population aged 15 and older.

State	No of  deaths  Ranks		Crude Mortality  Rate  Rank		Age-Adjusted  Mortality  Rate  Rank		VYLL to life Expectancy  Total    Rank    VYLL/death    Rank
Alabama	33	20	9.46	34	9.35	37	525	20	15.9	8

While the figures may not be high the fact is even one death related to Mesothelioma could create a domino effect as second hand exposure to family members can take place and the effect will be seen again after more than three decades. There is a statute of limitations and the fact is if you know that you have been exposed to carcinogenic particles you are due fair compensation.
