The asbestos industry, as well as other industries involved in making, using, or selling asbestos based products, have come under intense fire over recent years. Many people worldwide have suffered illness, loss of loved ones, and death as a result of exposure to asbestos in the past, and while asbestos industries were raking in the cash, those working with the substance – and unaware of the risks – were practically signing their own death sentences in some cases.
As a result of the problems that have come to light with regards to asbestos, the asbestos industry has had to pay out billions of dollars in compensation to those that have suffered as a result of being exposed to asbestos dust and fibers.
It is thought that some people in the asbestos industry were well aware of the dangers many, many decades ago, but those employed by the asbestos industry and consumers in general did not learn about these dangers until recently. Until this time, many had been working as employees in the asbestos industry and related industries without any form of protection or any knowledge of the damage that they were doing to their health.
The asbestos industry has been sued by people who have contracted asbestos related diseases as a result of asbestos exposure over the years, as well as by those that have lost loved ones as the result of asbestos exposure. The asbestos industry has also had to provide funding towards research into asbestos related diseases and their treatments.
