Many people have heard of a Mesothelioma Lawyer and wondered what that is all about. Mesothelioma is commonly known as "asbestos cancer." Mesothelioma is a very often fatal cancer caused by long term exposure to asbestos. Often, people who work in construction, auto mechanics and demolitions get exposed to asbestos fibers, which then are inhaled or cling to clothes to expose others. However, one industry whose workers are probably the most important, yet most overlooked, is teaching. Many small-town schools are very old buildings, often from the turn of the 20th century or shortly after. In the town I currently live in, a grade school that was just built is the first new school in the district since 1973. In many of these much older buildings, there is a lot of asbestos. When I was attending my small town school, the asbestos was removed over the course of one summer when I was in Junior High (in the same building as the grade school). That was a very good thing. Ho
