Asbestos Information:
The Asbestos and Mesothelioma Center
The Asbestos & Mesothelioma Center is committed to providing the latest, up-to-date information to our visitors in hopes to create awareness about asbestos and its link with mesothelioma. The material on this site serves as a solid resource for those who are suffering from any of the lung related diseases caused by asbestos. Here you will also find complete lists of hospitals, doctors, and legal teams who specialize in mesothelioma cases. Since mesothelioma is a rare cancer, most people know little about asbestos, the disease, and its devastating effects on human health.

EPA on Asbestos This page provides access to information about asbestos. On this website, you may access general information about asbestos and its health effects. EPA has also developed a list of commonly used asbestos acronyms. You may also read about what to do if you suspect asbestos in your home or your school (en español- asbesto en las escuelas).

Lead Paint:
EPA Lead is a highly toxic metal that was used for many years in products found in and around our homes. Lead may cause a range of health effects, from behavioral problems and learning disabilities, to seizures and death. Children 6 years old and under are most at risk, because their bodies are growing quickly. EPA is playing a major role in addressing these residential lead hazards.

National Safety Council - Lead is a highly toxic substance, exposure to which can produce a wide range of adverse health effects. Both adults and children can suffer from the effects of lead poisoning, but childhood lead poisoning is much more frequent. Over the many years since we have known about the hazards of lead, tens of millions of children have suffered its health effects. Even today, in 2004, there are still at minimum more than four hundred thousand children under the age of six who have too much lead in their blood.
