Mesothelioma (Asbestos) Cleanups Finally Happening

Even though it has been widely accepted and recorded for over two years that asbestos cause lung cancer, towns are only now starting to remove contaminated parts of buildings. For those of you that don't know:

"Mesothelioma is a disease that is almost 100% preventable; the only known cause is via exposure to the deadly mineral Asbestos. It comes from inhaling the particles of dust as the asbestos degrades; eating away at the lining of your lungs and developing into a deadly cancer."

I just thought of this the other day because any building with tiles or popcorn ceilings dating from before 1980 have a likelihood of containing asbestos. After surviving Mexico City for eight years I am not about to get lung cancer from some random dust.
