You may have been a victim of asbestos?

 

It is because of its physical and chemical properties, but also and above all because of its inexpensive cost price that many manufacturers have used it extensively to the detriment of hundreds of thousands of people exposed to this product. 'is found to be very toxic.

 

In fact, the inhalation of asbestos fibers is the cause of a large number of pathologies such as: asbestosis, bronchopulmonary cancers, cancers of the pleura or even cancers of the digestive tract due to the penetration of fibers into the respiratory tract and consequently to the deposition of the latter in the alveoli of the lungs.

 

The three main diseases remain: abestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.

 

Used as early as the 1930s, manufacturers decided to abandon it from the 1970s and took into account the appearance of these various serious diseases.

 

And yet asbestos had been recognized for almost a century as being dangerous to human health, according to a number of scientific studies published at the start of the 20th century.

 

Industrialists thus had very old knowledge of the dangers of asbestos: this is what the INSERM expert report issued in November 1997 revealed.

 

Faced with this health scandal which claimed the lives of thousands of people, the state reacted, too late no doubt.

Asbestos: history of a health scandal:

 

The first cases of pulmonary fibrosis were observed in 1906.

 

The pathology "abestosis" was revealed by COOKE in 1927, and it is from this that Great Britain adopted a first regulation aimed at reducing the risk of abestosis.

 

In 1935, a report by Lynch highlighted the existence of a causal link between lung cancer and occupational exposure to asbestos. This causal link was then confirmed in 1955 by the DOLL study carried out in Great Britain among workers exposed to textile asbestos.

 

Following this, all the studies cited below have confirmed without any hesitation the cause and effect link between cancer and exposure to asbestos:

 

In 1960 in New York, the SELIKOF study, on the same date, the New York Academy of Sciences conference on lung cancer, concerning mesothelioma in 1960 Wagner provides the first evidence, and finally in France in 1930, Doctor Dhers had the measures to be taken in the workplace published in the journal “occupational medicine” in order to remove asbestos dust.

 

It can be seen that in 1964, more than 70 countries compensate for abestosis as an occupational disease.

 

In addition, countries such as Germany or the United Kingdom already take charge of bronchopulmonary cancer.

 

We therefore notice with dismay that from the beginning of the century the risks of asbestos were known.

 

Thus, it is clear that in France the means implemented to fight against asbestos have been largely underused.

 

In 1972, an INRS note established the preventive measures to be taken in the face of the risk of inhalation of asbestos fibers; another note from INRS in 1976 presents the carcinogenic power of this same product.

 

The Senate report entitled: "The tragedy of asbestos in France: understanding, repairing better, drawing lessons for the future", establishes very precisely a list of chronological landmarks on asbestos in France.

 

The latter is revolting because it proves that the doubts concerning asbestos are very old.

 

Despite this observation, many ind
