Health Experts Predict Asbestos Disease Epidemic in India
According to a recent article in The Lancet, India will likely be facing an epidemic of asbestos-related diseases in future years.
While most developed countries have banned the use of asbestos in the construction industry, India’s usage of asbestos has actually increased dramatically in the last decade. The leading health experts on asbestos-related diseases say that it’s virtually certain that this will lead to greatly increased rates of death from asbestos-related diseases like malignant mesothelioma.
As for why India even allows asbestos to be used at all, a top environmental consultant points out that the asbestos industry is very powerful in India, and India’s laws do not give much protection to employees who develop occupational diseases.

Susan and Forest were outstanding. Very helpful through the whole process and definitely fought to help me greatly. It’s a very overwhelming process and without them I feel certain I would have been left without nearly as much. I absolutely will use the old fashion word of mouth sales pitch for your team. That’s actually how I found Forest. Through a friend who had used them. I will be telling anyone I know who has an accident to absolutely use Forest and Susan. I couldn’t be more satisfied with their treatment of me and my case. They are outstanding.
