The Mesothelioma Center at Asbestos.com - Given the increasing occurrences of natural disasters like wildfires, hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes, addressing the potential hazards they pose to homes is crucial. Asbestos, once commonly used in construction, can be released during these events, leading to serious health risks like mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer. To spread accurate information, we've developed guides addressing asbestos dangers in disasters and symptoms of mesothelioma.
