Asbestos industrial use 1959
This was clipped from the 1959 film, Asbestos a matter of time, by the US Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior. For more information about asbestos, asbestos-related diseases and ways to help protect yourself, family and friends from this deadly mineral, link to the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) founded in 2004 by asbestos victims and their families. ADAO seeks to give asbestos victims and concerned citizens a united voice to help ensure their rights are fairly represented and protected, while raising public awareness about the dangers of asbestos exposure and often deadly asbestos related diseases. ADAO is an independent organization that can be found at

Nano particles Used in H1N1 Vaccine Cause Harmful, Irreparable Damage
Nanoparticles, promoted in the mass media as the new wonder revolution of science, are particles that have been produced vastly smaller than deadly asbestos particles which caused severe lung damage and death before being outlawed. Particles at a nano size, (nm = 0,000000001 Meter) fuse together with the membranes of our body cell membranes and, according to recent studies in China and Japan, continuously destroy cells once introduced into the body. Once they interact with the bodys cellular structure, they cannot be removed. Modern medicine euphemistically terms the phenomenon, a continuing infectious reaction.
Since the asbestos scandal, it has been established that particles in size a millionth of a meter, because of their enormous attractive force, penetrate all cells, destroying all those they come into contact with. Nanoparticles are far smaller than asbestos fibers.
Beijing Tests confirm deadly effects on humans
The fact that WHO, the European Medicines Evaluation Agency, the German Robert Koch Institute and other health bodies today would permit the population to be injected with largely untested novel vaccines containing nanoparticles says more about the powerful pharma lobby in Euiropean politics than it does about the sanity or moral integrity of the civil servants responsible for health of the general public.
The September 2009 issue of the respected European Respiratory Journal, made public on 19 August, and available since 21 August online, contains a peer-reviewed article with the title, Exposure to nanoparticles is related to pleural effusion, pulmonary fibrosis and granuloma.
The article describes tests carried out in 2008 at the elite Beijing Chaoyang Hospital on seven young women. All seven, ages 18-47 had been exposed to nanoparticles for 513 months in their common workplace. All were admitted to the hospital with shortness of breath and pleural effusions, or excessive fluids surrounding the lungs, inhibiting breathing. None of the seven had ever smoked and none were in any special risk group. Doctors carefully tested for every possibility and confirmed that the lung problems had a common origin—regular inhalation of nanoparticles in their factory. They had been exposed to Polyacrylat nanoparticles.
The tests confirmed the nanoparticles had set off a super-meltdown reaction in the patients. Despite all heroic efforts of doctors, two of the seven died from the lung complications. 2
In their report, the scientists concluded something so alarming it is necessary to quote at length:
Immunological tests, examinations of bacteriology, virology and tumour markers, bronchoscopy, internal thoracoscopy and video-assisted thoracic surgery were performed. Surveys of the workplace, clinical observations and examinations of the patients were conducted. Polyacrylate, consisting of nanoparticles, was confirmed in the workplace. Pathological examinations of patients lung tissue displayed nonspecific pulmonary inflammation, pulmonary fibrosis and foreign-body granulomas of pleura. Using transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticles were observed to lodge in the cytoplasm and caryoplasm of pulmonary epithelial and mesothelial cells, but are also located in the chest fluid. These cases arouse concern that long-term exposure to some nanoparticles without protective measures may be related to serious damage to human lungs.3
To date Animal studies and in vitro experiments show that nanoparticles can result in lung damage and other toxicity in animals, but no reports on the clinical toxicity in humans due to nanoparticles prior to the Beijing study had been made.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), also known as chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD), is a group of diseases characterized by the pathological limitation of airflow in the airway that is not fully reversible. COPD is the umbrella term for chronic bronchitis, emphysema and a range of other lung disorders. It is most often due to tobacco smoking,[1] but can be due to other airborne irritants such as coal dust, asbestos or solvents, as well as congenital conditions such as alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency.

Asbestos Exposure
Exposure to asbestos can subject workers to a number of lung diseases, including the asbestos cancer mesothelioma. The microscopic fibers, when breathed in, become lodged in the mesothelium, causing tissue scarring and respiratory problems.

Asbestos
Asbestos exposure has been a serious topic in the news over the past two decades. But what exactly is it? Well, asbestos is a mineral that for many years was commonly used in a variety of things including pipe-covering, block, gaskets, packing, joint compound, and brakes. When these products were installed or removed, asbestos dust was produced that was easily inhaled and deposited in the lungs.
Exposure to asbestos can cause specific asbestos conditions, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is an incurable, rare form of cancer of the lining of the lungs and peritoneum and is only caused by asbestos exposure. There are 2,000 to 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma diagnosed each year, and victims usually die within 18 months of being diagnosed.
Symptoms of asbestos disease asbestos can take 10-50 years to appear. And in the case of mesothelioma, the symptoms typically dont show up until the cancer is advanced. The most common type of mesothelioma is called pleural mesothelioma, and symptoms include recent onset of shortness of breath, recent increase in shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, weight loss, weakness, and the most common finding upon physical examination is pleural effusion, which is an accumulation of fluid between the layers of the membrane that lines the lungs and chest cavity.
The widespread use of asbestos in the United States before to 1980 put workers in certain occupations and environments such as, shipbuilding, railroads, maritime, power plants, brake & clutch repair, construction and building trades, paper mills, pipefitters, and boilermakers at high risk for exposure.
The worst part is, the asbestos industry spent years trying to conceal the dangers of asbestos, risking innocent lives to protect their profits.
And, as a a result, new cases of illness will continue to show up for years to come.
If you think youve been exposed to asbestos, consult a doctor who is trained to diagnose asbestos-related conditions. And speak to an attorney to discuss your rights.
