    Belluck & Fox Website Provides ‘Ten Facts about Asbestos Exposure, Asbestosis and Mesothelioma’

    PRWeb – Mon, Jan 30, 2012

    Recent article on AboutMesothelioma.net, a blog sponsored by the New York mesothelioma lawyers of Belluck & Fox, LLP, reflects array of helpful news and information offered on the site.

    New York, NY (PRWEB) January 30, 2012

    A new article on AboutMesothelioma.net, a blog sponsored by the New York mesothelioma lawyers of Belluck & Fox, LLP, discusses “Ten Facts about Asbestos Exposure, Asbestosis and Mesothelioma” that people should know at the start of 2012.

    The article, written by award-winning journalist and the blog’s editor, Wade Rawlins, exemplifies the useful legal and medical news and information about asbestos-related diseases that are on the website every day, says New York mesothelioma attorney Joseph W. Belluck.

    “Our law firm is pleased to be able to provide this important content to people who want to learn more about asbestos and the legal and health issues that are caused by being exposed to this toxic mineral,” said Belluck, whose law firm focuses on mesothelioma litigation.

    “In addition to helping those whose lives have been impacted by asbestos exposure to obtain compensation for the losses they’ve suffered, our law firm wants to increase awareness about the dangers of asbestos,” he said. “Our blog has been especially effective in getting this message out to the public.”

    Rawlins’ latest AboutMesothelioma.net article provides a variety of facts to readers, including:


    •     Exposure to asbestos increases the risk of developing asbestosis, a scarring of the lungs due to retained asbestos fibers, as well as malignant diseases such as mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the lungs, chest or abdomen that is highly aggressive and resistant to many cancer treatments.

    •     Most cases of asbestos are diagnosed 10 years or more after a person is exposed to the mineral. In some cases, the asbestos disease appears after 40 or 50 years.

    •     Asbestos-related disease has been diagnosed in veterans (particularly Navy veterans), trade workers who were exposed to asbestos dust on the job and people who lived with the workers.

    •     Approximately 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year in the U.S.
