health in the home
I was watching an episode in the latest season of Cold Case and it featured a reporter who was killed because she was trying to expose the cover-up being done by a company that had a lot of its workers getting sick. It turns out that the expose she was doing was about mesothelioma cases, cancers due to asbestos exposure. While looking up the topic on the internet, I found out that here in Australia the incidents of mesothelioma has quadrupled in the last 20 years with men making up 85% of the new cases each year. And these incidents are not expected to peak until after 2020. One frightening thing is there are still a lot of homes here in Australia that contains building materials with asbestos. It’s a good thing that the house we have right now wasn’t built in the 80s when building materials with asbestos were commonly used.
