Mesothelioma and Asbestos

As Sackets Harbor, New York worked to prepare the site of their recent sewage treatment plant, they discovered a cement pipe covered in asbestos. This pipe must be removed before the site preparation can continue. The removal of the asbestos will require a distinguished crew, which will require additional funds. Asbestos abatement must be conducted by licensed professionals in order to protect the health as well as safety of both workers as well as the common community, as asbestos exposure can lead to humorless illnesses similar lung cancer as well as mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer.  Once the request to remove the asbestos is approved by the state Department of Labor, estimates for the cost of removal will be requested from local contractors.
