Excellent story on asbestos cost, impact
3 Apr 2008 by Wendi Lewis under NewsThe Ann Arbor Business Review has an excellent article today about the costs – both financial and the cost in human lives – of asbestos disease.
The article starts from the viewpoint of economics, exploring the rising costs of asbestos insurance claims, but goes on to talk with several people who were featured speakers at the recent Asbestos Awareness Day Conference, held in Detroit, touching on the human issue and the projected cost in human life.
There is some valuable statistical information in this article.
Take a look – it’s worth reading!
It’s a real shame that the issue of asbestos awareness doesn’t seem to be getting much attention in the media outside of Michigan, where the conference was held. I’d like to see some national news outlets pick up on this!
