Asbestos.com - Mesothelioma Resources
My name is Robert Rule and I’m the webmaster for the Asbestos.com. With more than 2,000 pages of content, our site is the most comprehensive asbestos & mesothelioma site on the Web. Unlike other sites, Asbestos.com has achieved HON code approval (Health On the Net (HON) Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation that works to preserve the accuracy and trustworthiness of Web-based medical information). Our site has employed a full staff of writers dedicated to research and writing about asbestos exposure and the diseases that result from exposure to the toxic mineral. In addition, our medical adviser and editor, Dr. Mauricio Salazar,M.D., who has worked in the field of cancer treatment for years, has personally reviewed, edited, and approved all medical information on our site.
According to the Environmental Working Group Action Fund, approximately 10,000 people in the United States die annually from asbestos-related diseases (mesothelioma, asbestos cancer, and lung cancer). Unfortunately, this tragic fact is not well known among the general public. One group working to raise awareness about the dangers of asbestos is the Asbestos and Mesothelioma Center. Featuring more than 2,000 pages of comprehensive, up-to-date information, their website is doctor-reviewed, edited, and approved for factual accuracy. Asbestos.com offers information on all asbestos-related issues, from exposure prevention to occupations at risk of exposure to current mesothelioma treatment options, and even the latest in clinical trials.
For more than a decade, Asbestos.com has been the leading online resource for all asbestos-related topics and mesothelioma. Serving as a one-stop resource for all asbestos and mesothelioma issues, the site aims to educate the public on the real hazards of asbestos and the diseases that are caused by this toxic mineral. Through spreading awareness, The Asbestos and Mesothelioma Center aspires not only play an active role in the fight against the asbestos epidemic, but also to prevent exposure and save lives.
