Asbestos Exposure Alert: Mesothelioma Lawyers Say Residents of Libby Worry for Their Health
The town of Libby is concerned over recent asbestos exposure risks report Mesothelioma Lawyers.
DALLAS, TX, July 25, 2011 /Cancer PR News/ -- Until recently all seemed to be running smoothly in Libby, Montana since a federal cleanup project that occurred almost ten years ago say Mesothelioma Attorneys. Recently some are concerned that the town of Libby was, and may still be, an extremely dangerous area due to its inundation with asbestos particles and asbestos exposure risks.
The asbestos fibers originated from a W.R. Grace Vermiculite mine present in the town of Libby. Unfortunately, this company covered the three thousand resident town of Libby with asbestos, causing mesothelioma and asbestosis among many residents. Mesothelioma Attorneys confirm that over four hundred residents of Libby have died over the past decades due to asbestos exposure.
After the Environmental Protection Agency performed their cleanup project, it was determined that the air in Libby was once again safe to breathe. However, that is not the case explains Mesothelioma Attorneys. Many areas that have been declared as safe and asbestos free are not. The EPA believes that homeowners may actually be re-contaminating their places of residence by tracking in asbestos on their shoes. If a homeowner walks to an area that has not been cleared by the cleanup companies, the asbestos particles will remain on shoes and may even adhere themselves to clothing. Furthermore, Mesothelioma Attorneys believe that even homes that have already been treated by cleanup crews and declared safe are posing risks.
The EPA faces major backlash from many Montana residents and officials for these false declarations of safety. The EPA now has a new strategy; including treatment of entire neighborhoods and even alleys confirms Mesothelioma Attorneys. No home will be left untreated and the EPA will no longer exempt certain individuals from their cleanup projects for asbestos exposure risks.
