Moreover, it is well-known that inhalation of the tiny asbestos fibers can lead to the rare cancer, mesothelioma, existing almost 3,000 American asbestos claims each year. There is no cure for the malady and it is highly aggressive in that the patient succumbs within a short period after diagnosis.
According to local reports, it will cost $28,730 to remove the asbestos from the building, and that is money well spent by the federal Department of Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant in the interest of public health.
