According to statistics, more than 30% of Americans suffering from mesothelioma—a deadly asbestos-induced lung cancer—were exposed to asbestos while serving their country. Veterans and shipyard workers face the greatest risk of developing mesothelioma or similar diseases because of the extensive use of asbestos in military equipment and products, buildings, ships, and submarines. This is especially true for veterans who served during or after World War II and before the1970s when the government began regulating use of asbestos.

Sadly, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of American veterans have suffered exposure to asbestos, putting them at higher risk of developing asbestosis, mesothelioma, or other illness.

Veterans who have been diagnosed with an asbestos-induced lung cancer such as mesothelioma have legal rights and may be able to recover compensation for their losses and suffering. Only an experienced mesothelioma lawyer will know if you have a valid legal claim.

The Risk for Navy Veterans

Asbestos-induced lung cancer is a significant problem among Navy veterans, particularly because the use of asbestos was so very extensive on ships. Virtually no area on a Navy ship built before the 1970s is safe including:

· Fire and engine rooms

· Boiler rooms

· Navigation rooms

· Mess halls

· Sleeping quarters

Additionally, commonly used products such as gaskets, cables, insulation, adhesives, valves, and numerous others contained asbestos. Navy veterans, like other veterans, were prone to carry asbestos dust home on their clothes, thereby exposing their loved ones to the dangerous fibers.

Veterans’ Rights

Veterans groups across the country have started taking action to ensure their rights are protected. For instance, some veterans organizations have called on Congress to fund early lung cancer detection programs, which is especially important given the long latency period for mesothelioma—usually 30 to 50 years. Individual veterans, and, in some cases, their families, are filing legal claims to hold responsible parties accountable for the suffering caused by asbestos-induced lung disease.

THE ASBESTOS - Mesothelioma COVER-UP
Mesothelioma is caused by inhaling or ingesting asbestos fibers. The books Outrageous Misconduct: The Asbestos Industry on Trial, written by Paul Brodeur, Pantheon Books, New York, New York, 1985, and Asbestos: Medical and Legal Aspects, 4th Edition, written by Barry I. Castleman, Aspen Law and Business, Engelwood Cliffs, New Jersey, 1996 and other sources of information show that asbestos companies had extensive knowledge that the use of asbestos in their products and by their employees would cause serious health issues for individuals in the future. Yet companies continued to use asbestos and placed the lives and health of their employees in jeopardy. The following are just a small sample of events that occurred that provided companies with knowledge that asbestos was dangerous:

• 1918: Frederick Hoffman, a medical statistician for the Prudential Life Insurance Company, reported in a United States Department of Labor Bulletin that American life insurance companies generally deny coverage to asbestos workers because of the “assumed health-injurious conditions of the industry.”

• 1930: One major asbestos company, Johns-Manville, produces a report, for internal company use only, detailing the fatalities and medical injuries of asbestos workers.

• 1932: A letter from the United States Bureau of Mines to asbestos manufacturer Eagle-Picher states, “It is now known that asbestos dust is one of the most dangerous dusts to which man is exposed.”

• 1933: Metropolitan Life Insurance Company doctors find that 29% of the workers at one Johns-Manville plant are suffering from asbestosis. Johns-Manville settles lawsuits by 11 employees on the condition that the lawyer for the employees agrees that he will not bring any new actions against Johns-Manville.

• 1934: Officials at Johns-Manville and Raybestos Manhattan, rewrite an article about the diseases of asbestos workers written by a Metropolitan Life Insurance Company doctor to minimize the danger of asbestos dust.

• 1936: A group of asbestos companies agree to sponsor research on the health effects of asbestos dust, but require that the companies have complete control over the disclosure of the results.

• 1942-43: The president of Johns-Manville says that the managers of another company were “a bunch of fools for notifying employees who had asbestosis.” When one of the people in attendance ask, “Do you mean to tell me you would let them work until they drop dead?” According to deposition testimony, the response was, “Yes. We save a lot of money that way.”

• 1944: The Journal of the Medical Association reports that asbestos is one of the “agents known or suspected to cause occupational cancer.”

• 1951: Asbestos companies remove all references to cancer before allowing publication of research they sponsor concerning exposure to asbestos.

• 1953: National Gypsum’s safety director wrote to the Indiana Division of Industrial Hygiene, recommending that acoustic plaster mixers wear respirators “because of the asbestos used on the product.” Another company official notes that the letter was “full of dynamite,” and urges that the letter be retrieved before reaching its destination. A memo from those files notes that the company “succeeded in stopping” the letter which “will be modified.”

• 1989 and 1991: In 1989, the United States Environmental Protection Agency bans asbestos and most of its uses, but, in 1991, asbestos companies win a federal lawsuit which overturns the EPA’s asbestos ban.

• 1999: The Florida Supreme Court rules that Owens Corning willfully withheld information about the dangers of working with the company’s asbestos products. The Florida Supreme Court describes it as a “blatant disregard for human safety involving large numbers of people put at life-threatening risks.”
As stated, the above actions by these companies are just a small sample of the many actions by companies using asbestos which did so in disregard of the safety of their employees and other innocent victims. Companies, who so frivolously ignored the health of the public and their own employees, are the targets of our litigation
Unfortunately, millions of people have been exposed to asbestos over the years. Only now are we able to see the disastrous effects of asbestos exposure in the workplace.

As with other cancers, a speedy diagnosis is important to effective treatment of mesothelioma. If you believe that you may have mesothelioma and that you worked with asbestos in the past, you may wish to inform your doctor of this fact.

It has been well documented that asbestos is dangerous and many of these companies ignored the health risk to their employees. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma in the last five years you should seek the advice of an experienced mesothelioma lawyer so that you will know your rights under the law. Lawyers who have experience in these cases and who have won significant awards for their clients will best be able to help you or your loved one.

This article will break down some of the laws that a patent carries.

An Overview of Patent Laws

These laws are difficult for a non-lawyer to understand, but not impossible.

The patent laws administered by the Patent and Trademark Office are contained within Title 35 of the United States Code. The USPTO oversee the laws dedicated to patents. Title 35 of the United States Code is further divided into four parts:

• Title 35 - Part I – provides details on information pertaining to the Patent and Trademark Office, and its role in granting patents.

• Title 35 – Part II – discusses the ability of the inventions to be patented, along with how patents are granted.

• Title 35 – Part III – information discussed within this section of the United States Code deals mainly with patent infringement and what rights are available to you as a patent holder.

• Title 35 – Part IV – can be used to find more specific information pertaining to the Patent Cooperation Treaty, and filing a patent internationally.

United States Code – Title 35 Part One

This section of the United States Code on patents goes into depth on the role of the Patent Office in administering patents to those who qualify. The first four sections of the patent laws start with an introduction on the role of the Patent Office, and then describe the officers who have been placed in charge of administering patents on behalf of the government. The last section within this section explains how to search the Patent Office database, and the fees required for filing an application.

When I was 17 old I started working at an asbestos mine in the Yukon. I had the excitement of youth and looked on the thing as a big adventure.

The mine was located about 7 miles from the Alaska border on the banks of the Forty Mile River, which emptied into the Yukon River some 5 miles or so north.

I first arrived in August and started working on the Surface Crew. This was the group responsible for outside maintenance of all things on the surface. This was fine when we had those few relatively warm days in summer, but later it was a bit more difficult to be working outside in minus 55F.

One of my first duties was to keep clear the conveyor that took the unused asbestos out to the tailings piles. Tailings piles are basically the dregs of what’s left over after milling the asbestos and is run out of the mill on conveyor belts to large piles behind the mill. At that time they were about 100 feet high.

I was given a shovel, and a small mask (kind of like the little paper ones that painters use) and told to go shovel off the conveyor belt on the tailings piles. Dutifully I climbed up with my little shovel to clear any blockages of asbestos from the conveyor. I remember clearly at one point standing literally knee deep in asbestos on top of this 100 foot high pile and looking inside my very poor quality mask and seeing the inside (where it’s not supposed to be) all grey from the asbestos dust. I then took out my hankerchief (yes, I carried one) and blew my nose. Sorry for the rude, graphic description, but it was all grey. And that was my introduction to work at an asbestos mine.

Even back in the early 1970’s it was becoming known that asbestos caused problems. Working in the mine we’d get brochures handed around periodically with propoganda about how it was never proven that asbestos was actually harmful. They were beautiful glossy brochures. I wish I’d kept one.

Though I had occasion to go into the mill for various reasons I was glad I didn’t work there. There were employees that worked in the mill whose sole job was to sweep up the dust that fell on the floor. There was so much of it that this was a constant ongoing job. The asbestos dust in the mill actually fell almost like snow and covered the floor completely. Without sweepers there would probably have been several inches of asbestos dust on the floor within an hour or so. In fact, I remember seeing sweepers go by pushing their wide brooms and the new dust settling onto the floor behind them as they walked.

The Yukon itself was absolutely beautiful. Stunning in fact. I had many great experiences there and saw some natural wonders I couldn’t have seen anywhere else. I had hitchiked up the Alaska Highway with a friend. In those days the highway was unpaved. Most of the trip was provided by a nice family who were travelling in an old converted school bus. Rattle and dust. Rattle and dust. But we made it finally to Whitehorse, and then on
to Dawson City. I loved Dawson. It was like stepping into the past. Not just the architecture and homes but the people had that old fashion friendliness and charm, though tempered by a resolve that one must have to live in such a fierce environment.

The Yukon has a peacefullness to it. Almost a serenity that one can feel. I’ve found that only those who have been there and experienced it fully understand what I mean by this.

In all of this beauty I suppose the asbestos mine was a blight, or cancer on the environment. Fortunately closed down now for many years nature is recovering it’s territory, but unfortunately asbestos mining has left a legacy of asbestosis and Mesothelioma with some of it’s previous employees. There are many resources available with information, legal, and personal (www.mesothelioma-listings.com) but one shouldn’t let something that consumes the body, also consume the soul. Being human is to be somewhat fragile to the vagarities of life as it is. There’s plenty of ‘drama’ going on without us spending all of our energies on blame. Be calm. Remember your duty in life is to help others. Be happy and try to improve life around you.

As I type this I am looking out the window, watching my grandchildren learn to fish off the seawall out back. It just doesn’t get any better than this.

Asbestos is a term used to classify a group of mineral fibers that share properties of thermal and chemical resistance, flexibility, and hight tensile strength. The term “asbestos” comes from the Greek word for inextinguishable and was termed the “magic mineral” because of its’ extraordinary ability to withstand heat. There are six minerals defined as asbestos including: chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthophyllite and actinolite.

The history of this remarkable, but hazardous material dates back to at least 2500 B.C., when it was used as an ingredient in pottery making. Since then, asbestos has been used in a wide-range of products such as automotive brake pads and clutches, cement, ceiling and floor tiles, boilers, electrical wire insulation, gaskets, joint compound and adhesives, just to name a few.

Mesothelioma is type of lung cancer that is aggressive in nature and almost, always results from exposure to asbestos. At present there is no known cure for Mesothelioma and life expectancy is between 4 to 24 month from the initial onset of symptoms. Currently there is an ongoing epidemic of this disease in the US and it is not showing any signs of slowing down. The primary cause of the Mesothelioma problem is negligence on the part of asbestos manufactures since the1970’s whom did not protect their employees from the dangers of asbestos. Due to this fact and because the latency period for Mesothelioma is between 20 to 40 years, the court system has being inundated with pending asbestos cases ever since. It is estimated that asbestos cases will not peak for another 20 years.

Below are some statistical facts about asbestos and mesothelioma lung cancer:

Asbestos is considered a carcinogen, which means that it can cause cancer. Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that occurs naturally in the environment.

About 70% to 80% of all reported cases of asbestos exposure occur in the work place. Over the past 50 years, occupational exposure to asbestos in the United States is estimated to have occurred in approximately 8 million people. Mesothelioma is an aggressive form of lung cancer that results from exposure to airborne asbestos fibers. There are two types of Mesothelioma, pleural and peritoneal. Initial symptoms of Mesothelioma do not appear until 30 to 40 years after first exposure to asbestos. Symptoms of Mesothelioma usually arise 2 to 3 months before the cancer is found and can resemble shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, persistent cough, pneumonia, chest and abdominal pain. Mesothelioma is a terminal disease with no known cure and victims die within 18 months of diagnosis due to the cancer being too advanced by the time it is detected. Treatments for Mesothelioma include surgery to remove the tumors, chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination of all three. Management of mesothelioma depends largely on the the staging of the tumor as well as the age and physical condition of the patient. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention may lengthen life expectancy. According to the National Cancer Institute, approximately 3,000 new cases per year of malignant mesothelioma are being reported in the United States, and the incidence appears to be increasing. Asbestos cases will continue to increase and it is estimated to peak around the year 2025, according to experts. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued regulations to phase out the use of almost all asbestos products in 1989, and these rules were overturned in a court challenge in 1991. Asbestos is still not banned in the US and there are about 5,000 products that contain asbestos circulating in the US. Most asbestos products are used as an ingredient in the making of a final product, such as vinyl-asbestos flooring and friction products, which are purchased mostly by the construction and automobile industries. EPA has not banned any substance for any use since 1991 under the provision of the law used for the asbestos ban. It is estimated that about 8 million people in the U.S. have been exposed to asbestos in the work place, and, or their home. The Congressional Budget Office claims that there are 322,00 pending claims. Fair compensation for mesothelioma frequently means a settlement of over $1,000,000. About 2,500 victims of Mesothelioma die each year. The disease is three times more common in men than in women. In men, the occurrence of mesothelioma is ten times higher in men between the ages of 60-70 as compared to men between the ages of 30-40. Due to the monetary value of Mesothelioma as a keyword search term on the Internet, there are bids on Overture or Google Ad Words of over $160 per click, which primarily involved law firms.

Mesothelioma is a cancer that results from a genetic mutation within the cells of the body. The mutation causes healthy cells to change into malignant cells (cells that grow uncontrollably). These out-of-control cells multiply rapidly, forming tumors that interfere with the body’s functions; the tumors in turn spread more malignant cells through the entire body. In time, mesothelioma causes death. Mesothelioma is a cancer that results from a genetic mutation within the cells of the body. The mutation causes healthy cells to change into malignant cells (cells that grow uncontrollably).

These out-of-control cells multiply rapidly, forming tumors that interfere with the body’s functions; the tumors in turn spread more malignant cells through the entire body. In time, mesothelioma causes death.

Mesothelioma appears in a variety of forms, and no universal cause of mesothelioma has been discovered. Researchers have discovered that health, lifestyle, and the environment play a significant role in the development of disease; however, the primary cause of mesothelioma in most people is exposure to asbestos.

Asbestos is a fibrous mineral known for its durability, ease of extraction and processing, and its high resistance to heat, flame, and electric currents. It comes in many forms, including woven material, and is found in many products - especially in the manufacturing, resource extraction and processing, and home construction industries.

The toxic effects of asbestos have long been known, and most industrialized countries have placed limits on its use. Prior to the enactment of these limits, however, many people were exposed to occupational asbestos, despite the knowledge by manufacturers and employers of its dangerous nature.

If you are suffering from mesothelioma as a result of negligence on the part of these manufacturers or employers, consider retaining the services of one of our mesothelioma attorneys. They can help you get the compensation and care that are appropriate in your particular case.

The production of asbestos became a major industry in a wide range, at the beginning of the 20th century. From countries like England, South Africa, Australia and the United States, asbestos was mined. The knowledge of asbestos exposure occurred in the early period of the development in this industry. During the year 1906, the first medical report of a person dying due to fibrosis of the lungs was published.

Strong evidence has developed relating asbestosis to many various asbestos firms in Britain by the late 1920’s. The government in 1930 showing the drastic effects of the asbestos is funded a survey. It reported that the rate of sickness would be geometric, if the employees work for more than ten years in the presence of asbestos. It also stated that the rate of disease could be reduced if the asbestos dusts are controlled from the atmosphere. The disease has developed mostly in people directly involved in working with asbestos.

During the year 1930, the evidence of malignant mesothelioma started to evolve. Later it was slowly linked with asbestos. There was a common knowledge that most of the deaths in the industry occurred due to lung cancer. Tuberculosis was also widespread at that time. The need of an autopsy developed to know the exact mode of death, analyzing whether the cancerous cells developed in the mesothelium or due to some other ailments.

The major difficulty occurred with the length in the time gap in relating the mesothelium and the exposure of asbestos. Since the symptoms regarding this deadliest disease are similar to other various common diseases, many people were diagnosed later after working among the asbestos and when the disease developed with more severity.

In the year 1959, three researchers developed and presented in a seminar in South Africa some stunning evidence providing a link between mesothelioma and asbestos. The study released major shocking notes against the asbestos industry and its effects. A major cover-up of these facts from the industry owners were developed in order to save the asbestos industry rather than protecting the workers. Various litigations were further developed for the fulfillment of the persons who had developed mesothelioma with asbestos exposure. The lawsuits helped them in claiming a maximum compensation from the major asbestos-abusing companies.

First, let’s be clear about what mesothelioma is before identifying which geographic locations are most likely to be affected by this debilitating, dangerous, and life-threatening condition. This disease (a cancer that affects areas lining the lungs and abdomen) is almost exclusively caused by asbestos exposure. Other conditions that can be caused by asbestos exposure include scarring of the lungs (asbestosis), lung cancer, and general malaise.

Areas Of The United States Recording The Highest Rates Of Cases

Below, we address the environmental issues that are leading factors of asbestos exposure that results in higher rates of this disease and asbestosis. Of course, that is a direct determinant to where there are the highest rates of asbestos-related diseases.

You cannot point a finger at a particular state or community that is responsible for this dangerous disease until you examine and identify which locations have a cluster of cases of mesothelioma or other asbestos-related problems. Once identified, you will invariably find this area with victims is a high source of asbestos exposure.

Let’s start by looking at one highly visible case as a recent example of a town that had a high incidence of this disease. This case has been well documented in print and on TV. Rates of mesothelioma have been very high in Libby, Montana. Without fear of repercussion in this article because they have already publicly admitted their responsibility, W.R. Grace’s vermiculite mine caused human casualties due to their neglect to consider the risks of asbestos exposure. The human casualties are truly a shame.

Generally, both the East and West Coasts of America are locations where governments and medical communities should be educated and concerned about their citizens who may contract mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases because industries including shipbuilding are congregated on the coasts. For example, in North Carolina high rates of diseases due to asbestos exposure are evident, even if they are no longer active in shipbuilding and textile industries because this insidious disease can sometimes wait 20 to 30 years to manifest after exposure.

Environmental Factors Leading Residents And Workers In These Areas To Suffer This Disease

Each year, approximately 2,000 to 3,000 folks in the United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma. The Asbestos Information Association identifies 3,000 uses of asbestos in trades and job sites across the country. Exposure to workers include industries related to construction, mining, milling, shipbuilding, and manufacturing as well as many other industries concerned with fire prevention, which is historically a primary use for asbestos. Mechanics who work on cars are also at risk since they may repair brakes or clutches with asbestos to prevent fire and friction.

First-responders who are called upon to put out fires in older buildings riddled with asbestos are especially put at a high risk of exposure. This includes firefighters, police, and EMS personnel who may all be vulnerable to fumes as buildings burn.

Residents who live near burning buildings or near older construction sites being razed are also at risk. Studies have estimated that the airborne release of asbestos at older construction sites can be as high as one-hundred times the environmental levels compared to natural sites.

Navy personnel may be victims of asbestos when they repair old ships. All current military personnel or veterans who now work or have worked overseas are also vulnerable to asbestos if they served in countries that do not regulate asbestos exposure as we have tried to do in America.

As far as environmental factors in reference to asbestos that may possibly lead to contracting this disease, asbestosis, or other lung-related cancers, OSHA distinguishes between construction jobs and the “general industry.” People with construction jobs may have torn down or renovated older buildings before asbestos laws and mesothelioma legislation went into effect, making them more vulnerable to the risks of exposure.

Governmental Actions And Legislation Taken To Prevent This Disease

Mesothelioma legislation to limit the spread of this disease, asbestosis, or any other diseases related to asbestos exposure is extremely important to fight these asbestos-related diseases. On a federal level, a bill that supports mesothelioma legislation passed in March 2009. The U.S. Senate passed a bill called ALERT, which included prevention of cancer caused by environmental and occupational exposure to carcinogens. This included asbestos. Since the late 1970s and early 1980s, OSHA, a governmental agency, has regulated exposure to asbestos.

For people working in places where there is exposure to asbestos, a certain guidelines have been setup.

These guidelines have been established to help employees and employers to undertake work involving a safe manner and not get exposed to asbestos resulting in them contracting dangerous diseases like mesothelioma.

If an employee or contractor finds out that any material is made of or consists of asbestos, then they can complain to the authorities and need not undertake any activity which might lead to the asbestos release into the atmosphere.

These findings can be complained to the management of the Department who will forward a report to the Chief Building Surveyor in the Environment Department. They will then do the following necessary survey:

• Check the air for presence of asbestos particles

• Sampling the material which might have presence of asbestos

• Arrangement for safety of the employee to avoid any kind of exposure

• Encapsulation

• Elimination by licensed contractor

If the presence of asbestos is proven, the following action would be taken by the company:

• Encapsulate it with a sealant. This process will ensure that the asbestos is not disturbed in the future

• Remove completely from the premise and then replace it with an alternative.

Government’s control limits for exposure levels of asbestos has been set up and an unprotected person should not be exposed to asbestos fibre in excess of the limit. All the employees working in the presence of approved asbestos products need to be completely aware of the safety norms and guidelines for usage of asbestos.

They need to comply with all requirements setup in the norms. They should not work on any specific asbestos product unless the kind of asbestos used is known and a “safe system of work” has been established.

The most significant aspect that ensures the way in which asbestos is used in an establishment is the level of asbestos dust released in the atmosphere during the course of work undertaken either to produce an asbestos product or any related work.

The Government has established various maximum levels for the different kinds of fibers exposed in the air.

These levels are as follows:

- For crocidolite or amosite kind of asbestos (these are the most dangerous forms of asbestos)

• 0.2 fibres/ml of air averaged over a continuous period of 4hrs

• 0.6 fibres/ml of air averaged over a continuous period of 10mins

- For asbestos without crocidolite or amosite

• 0.5 fibres/ml of air averaged over a continuous period of 4hrs

• 1.5 fibres/ml of air averaged over a continuous period of 10mins

These figures are the maximum level.

The system of work need to target the lowest level possible of asbestos exposure to safeguard the lives of the people involved. The Health and Safety Executive have suggested an environmental limit of 0.01 fibres/ml of air for the general public and non-asbestos workers. To ensure the above mentioned levels, the employer should regularly carry out air monitoring before, during and on completion of all work involving asbestos products.
