Whilst Government administrations come and go, and the latest schools system and curriculum initiatives unveiled with new layers of management put into place, the actual fabric of the buildings are consistently ignored, where an ageing nemesis lies in wait, ready to inflict more damage than an ill-conceived educational policy might sustain.

Action Mesothelioma Day and the Mesothelioma Charter are part of a long history of campaigning to raise asbestos awareness to see justice and compensation for all asbestosis and mesothelioma victims.

Action Mesothelioma Day 2010, the fifth event to be mounted across the UK, which was announced by The British Lung Foundation (BLF) and supporting organisations to be held on the first Friday in July, is scheduled for 2nd July.

Incredible though it may seem in 2010, there is still the very real possibility of being exposed to asbestos contained in brake linings, clutches and gaskets of older vehicles manufactured before the 1970s. More worryingly, automobiles are imported from countries where individual parts have been produced in factories still using asbestos as a cheap source material.

Assertions that the present dangers of contracting an asbestos related disease are considerably reduced as a result of the banning of its use in products or heightened asbestos awareness, are shown to be false every time Government statistics and anecdotal evidence are released. Consistently rising asbestos compensation figures show very clearly that more people are contracting asbestos-related cancers such as asbestosis and mesothelioma.
