Deadly Connection Between Mesothelioma and Asbestos in Houston

The fibrous material known as asbestos has been used throughout history for its fire resistant qualities. Recent history has found asbestos as a preferred building material due to its fire retardant, heat resistant capability coupled with its cost effective nature. Texas business owners of the early to mid 20th century used asbestos in nearly everything they could. In effect, asbestos has been used consistently to attempt to create safer, more cost effective buildings. Time has proven that these building are not any safer, nor are they more cost effective. Aside from the cost of medical care created by Mesothelioma, the human cost is tragic.

Asbestos was once used in everything from:

• automotive parts
• clothing
• blankets
• fire fighter gear

Buildings, homes, and businesses were less likely to burn to the ground with the use of asbestos.

Statistics show around 3000 people die annually from Mesothelioma.
