Mesothelioma Advice

There is a battle under way in Beaumont, Texas.  The Beaumont Independent School District voted last November to tear down the South Park School, used as a middle school until last year.  In response, more than 2,600 residents in the city of 110,000 signed a petition urging the school district to consider alternate plans for adaptive use.  The fate of this 1922 building is important to the safety and health of the community.  The demolition of this building could prove to be very dangerous because of the tons of asbestos containing materials it harbors. 
Removal of asbestos must be done under special procedures.  Asbestos removal must be done prior to demolition to keep the material from becoming airborne.  Inhaled asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems including mesothelioma, a deadly form of lung cancer. Mesothelioma is a rare but aggressive cancer and it is caused almost exclusively by exposure to asbestos.  There is no cure for Mesothelioma.   

The district is still in the midst of selecting a company to hire for the project, and will factor in the company's bid and prestige into their decision.  It is in everyone’s best interest that the right company and correct procedures in removing the asbestos are used.  Incorrect removal can expose many people to asbestos and a wave of asbestos lawsuits against the Beaumont Independent School District and others.  Of course, if a child or school official is diagnosed with mesothelioma, the affected parties should consult a mesothelioma asbestos law firm for legal advice.
