U.S. Senate Resolution 462 (Excerpt)

Designating the first week of April 2008 as `National Asbestos Awareness Week'.

Resolved, That the Senate urges the Surgeon General, as a public health issue, to warn and educate people that asbestos exposure may be hazardous to their health.


Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO), founded by asbestos victims and their families in 2004, seeks to give asbestos victims a united voice to help ensure that their rights are fairly represented and protected, and raise public awareness about the dangers of asbestos exposure and the incurable and often deadly asbestos related diseases.

ADAO is funded through voluntary contributions and staffed by volunteers.

“United for Asbestos Disease Awareness, Education, Advocacy, Prevention, Support and a Cure.”
