(market-day.net) Asbestos disease or mesothelioma has been do*****ented as the result of evenminimal exposure, affecting family members of workers who came into contactwith asbestos and brought it home on their clothing, skin or hair.

In the late 1970s the Consumer Products Safety Commission banned the use ofasbestos in wallboard patching compounds and artificial ash for gasfireplaces, and in 1989 the Environmental Protection Agency banned all newuse of asbestos.
