Women’s asbestos exposure is often overlooked. Take-home fibers and environmental risks rarely make it into the data, leaving gaps in prevention. Public health must serve everyone.

After wildfires, soil can stay contaminated with asbestos from burned buildings. The ash may look harmless, but it can still cause deadly disease. Get soil tested, use masks, and push for safe cleanup in your community.

A Massachusetts jury awarded $83M after mesothelioma was traced to asbestos in ceramic products. This verdict sends a clear message: accountability matters, and families deserve justice when corporations put profit over health. #Mesothelioma #AsbestosAwareness

Many women with mesothelioma never worked with asbestos directly. Hidden exposures from homes, family, and building materials often go unnoticed. Symptoms are delayed. Awareness, testing, and protection for everyone are overdue.

The Arizona AG issued a cease-and-desist at Tucson apartments over asbestos and other serious hazards. Tenants shouldn’t need government orders to be safe in their own homes. #AsbestosAwareness #TenantRights #PublicHealth

Decades of research, yet mesothelioma treatments remain limited. Progress is slow, and lives are at stake. Prevention and early testing are still the most powerful tools we have. #Mesothelioma #AsbestosAwareness #PublicHealth

EPA under Trump is once again reconsidering the asbestos ban, ignoring the cost to veterans. Thousands were exposed in ships, bases, and barracks. Rolling back protections means more lives lost to a preventable hazard. #AsbestosAwareness #VeteransHealth #PublicHealth

Denison, TX plans to redevelop the old Johns Manville asbestos plant into an industrial park. Cleanup is nearly done, but the toxic legacy of asbestos lingers. New jobs sound promising, only if safety and thorough remediation come first.

Seniors & asbestos: Don’t wait. Get a doctor’s diagnosis, write your exposure history, review your insurance, file fast, appeal denials, and coordinate benefits with Medicare. You may also qualify for asbestos trusts. #Asbestos #SeniorHealth #Insurance #Mesothelioma

The CDC is ending its anti-smoking ads after 13 years because funding ran out. These campaigns helped over a million people quit. Cutting them now means more deaths.

The ongoing politicization of the CDC is despicable.

OSHA pushes forward on heat illness rules. Safety isn’t a menu; if crews plan for heat, they must also control asbestos dust on jobsites. Protect workers on every front.

New research shows respiratory infections may wake up dormant cancer cells in the lungs. For those with asbestos exposure (including 9/11 responders), every lung insult matters. Protect your lungs today; your future self depends on it.

Asbestos was once sold as a “miracle mineral.” The real crime was not its use but the concealment of its deadly risks. Decades later, mesothelioma cases show how corporate profit was placed above human lives. #Asbestos #MesotheliomaAwareness #EnvironmentalJustice
