In this effort to inform the public about lung cancer, The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) has given its support. Lung cancer is the leading cause of death in the U.S. There is an urgent need to educate and continue research on causes and cures for lung diseases. According to the ADAO, disorders of the lungs are not just caused by smoking. There are other risk factors to be considered. Exposure to asbestos causes many forms of incurable lung disease. Mesothelioma is one of these devastating illnesses.
Surprisingly, lung cancer has gotten very little attention. It is important to raise public awareness of the fact that lung cancer is not just a smokers’ disease. Advocacy groups are needed to educate the public about our #1 killer. ADAO was founded in 2004 by victims of asbestos- related disease to raise public awareness of the exposure to asbestos. Miners, factory workers, insulation manufacturers, ship builders, construction workers, and auto mechanics can be exposed to asbestos which may cause mesothelioma or other lung maladies. The ADAO advocates for increase prevention, early detection, new treatments, and other resources for mesothelioma and other asbestos- related lung disease victims.
