Mesothelioma and Asbestos

Daniel D. Marini of Mindoro, Wisconsin was a salvage dealer until recently. In beginning December, he was found guilty in Dane County Circuit Court of illegally burning aged mobile homes as well as storing hazardous waste. Following an investigation by the Department of Common Resources (DNR), Marini was ordered to pay the state $132,343 for openly burning five mobile homes in his salvage yard—without a permit—before burying the ashes on the site. He did not inspect the mobile homes for asbestos before burning them as well as he did not inform the DNR prior to demolition. Asbestos fibers are dangerous when they are inhaled, as they can cause humorless illnesses similar mesothelioma; incase the mobile homes contained asbestos, the fibers could possess been released into the air when they were burned. Marini was as well as found guilty of transporting as well as storing hazardous waste; not reporting, stopping or cleaning up hazardous spills; not preparing a storm water pollution prevention plan; as well as not obtaining a storm water permit.

He has as well as been ordered to stay out of salvaging, scrap or recycling businesses for 10 years.
