Is the pink material found in attics a cause of lung cancer? I have heard that the material may have similar health risks to asbestos. Can anyone please inform me more about the health risks, if any, found in the pink insulation? Thank you

Has anyone else heard that the tampon companies put asbestos in the tampons to make you bleed more so that you have to buy more tampons? Supposedly, this is also a contributing factor to the rise in cervical cancer. I just heard this and I'm wondering how valid it is.

I'm asking this because in 2003, my dad died of lung cancer. He was an insulator and was exposed to asbestos for many years without knowing. We are still in the middle of a lawsuit and next month we have to go to court for something called Work-mans Comp. Some of the people my dad worked with are lying and won't admit that they too worked with asbestos at the time my dad did. They are afraid they'll lose their job because some of the men are still working for the company, so they are going to lie on the stand, even though one of the guys was the best man at my parents wedding. They are going to say he died because he was a smoker. The thing is, even though he was, the specialist who reviewed my dads Autopsy report said that the asbestos had something to do with it whether he was a smoker or not.

My mom is now older than my dad was when he died (he was 45) and she is still alive and she's a smoker, and so are many other of his friends who are his age and smoke. I was just wondering what age people usually die of lung cancer due to smoking? I think it could help with the case, but I'm not really sure. I'm just looking for all the answers I can get so I can kind of see if we have a good chance or not. We've been waiting five years for this to go through and we've been struggling to get by, especially with this economy. I would rather have my dad back, but he wanted this for us because he couldn't be here to support us. He wouldn't want my mom to struggle like she has. We are about to lose our house, so if we win, everything would be okay. I need advice or someone elses opinion on what might happen.

Thanks in advance

The lawsuit is separate from the Work-mans comp, sorry if I made it sound like it was just one thing. What I'm basically worried about is the Work-mans comp. I just wanted to clear that up, sorry.

problem that the doctors have overlooked. Like mesothelioma becuase my father was a smoker for 40 years but also was exposed to asbestos for about 30 years working as a mechanic. Plus there is asbestos in the house he has lived in for 30 years.

he has been to two doctors and both have said it is emphesema.

he has not smoked in 2-3 years. his symtoms are stabbing pain in right side of chest, neck, and right arm that has been constant for three years. his cheeks and neck get hot. sensitivity to light. the main thing that worries me is the right arm and neck being included in the pain. if someone could tell me that this is normal we would both feel alot better. thanks

After my grandfather past away many years ago I began coughing up a whitish, yellowish mucous. This has been going on for a year or two. I had been taking care of him for over ten years. My grandfather had lung cancer & worked in chemical plants with asbestos. Since going to a doctor about 4 months ago, I was diagnosed with a staff infection. The doctor prescribed me with antibiotics. It went away & now it's back. I am still spitting or coughing up this flem. It gets stuck in my throat & drives me crazy. What can I do, is this dangerous?

I think they are. Heath Ledger sustained wounds from shards of the World Trade Center while he was walking near the buildings when they collapsed. He died because the asbestos from the building shards leaked into his bloodstream and gave him cancer. He kept the cancer from killing him with chemo for seven years but then he died =( I'm a personal friend of his mother and that's what she told me. R.I.P. good buddy.

The CSI Field kits I looked up are excellent, Im a BIG fan of forensics but I also read that it was recalled because the print powder contains asbestos that could cause lung cancer, I thought it was just a fake lead, but I seen it on a video on youtube. Im thinking about getting one, but I wanna make sure if its true or not before I buy it, or did they fix it the fingerprinting powder to a non toxic one if its accidentally breathed in. Cause if its just in the fingerprint power I could just not use it or throw it out.

please no stupid links like the first two

I had to go upstairs into a church attic to grab some supplies. I was up there for a few minutes and there was a lot of insulation on the floors around the area that is walked on. I'm terrified of asbestos since my grandmother died of lung cancer. Was being up there a hazard?

1. That it wasn't just 4,500 people that died on 911. People are still dying. Dogs have died from the asbestos. People that haven't died have cancer. The death rate from 911 continues to go up.
2. That Silverstein got 7 billion for The Towers. People are still dying. 3. Just 3 months before the "terroists" attacks Silverstein took out Terrost Insurance on The Towers.
4. There was no insurance investigation pertaining to Silverstein. If We took out insurance on anything and 3 months later someone died you bet your bottom dollar there'd be an investigation to make sure everything was legit.
5. That Silverstein was NOT the owner of the buildings, yet he got the insurance. Shouldn't the Owners of the building got it?
6. That there are antimissle weapons that protect the White House as well as the Pentagon. That anything that would threaten those buildings would have been shot out of the sky.
6. That just because someone actus like that are Christian doesn't mean they are.
7. Iraq wasn't part of 911.
8. There was never any "Weapons of Mass Destruction" found. If there were, they would have peraded them on CNN, MSNBC, and other news channels.
9. That Halliburton get no big deals behind closed doors.
10. Rumsfed is the CEO of Halliburton.
11. There is no actual law called "Excutive Privledge". And if there is, Why isn't there one for Supervisor Privledge, or Manager Privledge or Soldier Privledge, or even Citizen Privledge?
12. That the "Terrorists" took over with nothing more than box cutters, yet our Government and FBI have a plethera of weapons at their disposal.
