I knew someone who died of mesothelioma (the cancer from asbestos). I was reading that site and found another astounding article--about how <a href="//www.banasbestosnow.com/blog/2012/01/25/asbestos-is-big-business?utm_source=EduBlog&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=BAN&utm_content=Health”" rel="nofollow">asbestos</a> is still a huge global business because developing countries still import and use it in construction! Fred, your link was also very helpful, especially the recent info about genetic relativity to mesothelioma!

Fortunately, the majority of health problems associated with mold exposure are non-life threatening and can be dealt with through prevention of conditions that allow indoor mold growth, or remediation of the mold problem, and allergy medications when indicated. On the subject of asbestos, you can find a lot of really good information about asbestos at our health and safety website, www.croetweb.com. Asbestos in schools and other public places can be dealt with effectively so that the risk of exposure is minimized. Fred Berman Director, CROET Toxicology Information Center Hi Jonathan,

I have a terrible allergy to it, and I am constantly having respiratory issues. Another thing I have been worried about in school is asbestos exposure. I read <a href="http://www.banasbestosnow.com/blog/2012/01/27/asbestos-science-kits?utm_source=EduBlog&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=BAN&utm_content=Health" rel="nofollow">here</a> that they are finding asbestos in school labs. It is really terrifying for me. Mold is such a scary thing. I have a terrible allergy to it, and I am constantly having respiratory issues.

Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better? I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your site?
