Are Your Kids at Risk to Asbestos Exposure?

Last week, workers at an elementary school in Berkley, California, removed carpet runners covering a large broken seam in the linoleum floor. They found a lot more than broken linoleum. Treading on the cracked floor had disturbed asbestos-containing materials, allowing these carcinogenic fibers to become aerosolized and, as a result, impose serious, life-threatening risk to everyone in the building, including teachers and students! These unsuspecting victims now face significant risk of lethal diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Cracked floors, exposed insulation and building debris are not uncommon in America's schools. Unfortunately, that also means that it's not uncommon for children across the country to attend classes in buildings which seriously threaten their long-term health. If you're concerned that your school may have exposed your children to asbestos, the time to act is now.
