Work Hazards

Reading about Mesothelioma, I am most thankful that our present day workers are not in danger of Asbestos exposure. Outsourcing companies are normally housed in huge facilities and air conditioning is a major expenditure for most of such firms. Asbestos when used as roofing is good in keeping warehouses and huge facilities cool but the long term health effect of direct contact with it is very bad. I pity those people who had to work in contact with asbestos not knowing that they will become very ill from it in the long run. I hope that modern science will be able to cure such ailments at least cost to the effected people. I have the impression that most of those who got into direct contact with asbestos are those that were engaged in manual labor and therefore, has lesser ability to pay for their long term, medical bills.
