Did You Know that 30% of All Mesothelioma Victims Are U.S. Veterans?
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 25 million Americans have served in the armed services. As a result of common practice, hundreds of thousands-and possibly millions-of servicemen and women have been exposed to dangerous-and perhaps lethal-levels of asbestos. For instance, every ship and shipyard built by the U.S. Navy before the mid-1970s was fitted with numerous asbestos-containing materials.
If you served in the United States armed forces, and particularly if you served in the U.S. Navy, you may be at risk to asbestos-related diseases such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.
