Mesothelioma: Asbestos - Resources and Research

Mesothelioma: Asbestos - Resources and Research

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., The Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (MARF) has harshly criticized the latest version of the asbestos trust fund proposal, introduced yesterday in the Senate by co-sponsors Arlen Specter, (R-Pa.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.).

"For five years, MARF has been drawing attention to the national tragedy of asbestos and calling for a constructive solution," said MARF Executive Director Chris Hahn. "We have done what we can to jumpstart research aimed at curing asbestos' most lethal cancer, meso; we have established that -- with an adequate commitment of resources -- effective treatments for the disease could be developed; and we have been calling on the federal government and the companies responsible for causing the tragedy to partner with us in funding the research needed to stop it."
