Asbestos exposure caution
given by state officials
State health officials are
urging persons who believe they
may have been or are now
exposed to asbestos to receive a
medical checkup. Certain forms
of cancer and other diseases can
be contracted from asbestos
exposure.
Dr. John A. Beare, director
of the state Health Services
Division, said the effort to alert
persons possibly at risk is aimed
particularly at present and
former shipyard workers but that
workers in other industries may
also face health problems.
Joan McKenzie of the
division's Occupational Health
Unit said workers in the
construction, insulation and
certain automotive trades
(particularly brake lining or
clutch repair) may be exposed to
asbestos. Persons who suspect
they have been exposed should
stop smoking and contact their
physician or local health
department.
State officials are cooperating
with the federal Department of
Health, Education and Welfare in
an asbestos awareness campaign.
As part of that effort, a
tal, ebo,tao ;hotline hm, b:n
established to refer persons
seeking additional information.
The toll-free number is
1-800-562-2875.
Because some asbestos-re/ated
conditions may be symptom free
and not detectable for years,
medical evaluations should be
initiated and continued at regular
intervals.
Th- Occupational Health
Unit is working with several local
health departments to set up
asbestos screening programs and
with private industry to
cooperatively establish
procedures that can reduce that
exposure. Such procedures as
better ventilation, improved
methods of handling materials,
regular air monitoring and
worker respirator programs are
suggested.
