Our biggest news this month is that in a landmark win for public health, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finally agreed to require reporting on asbestos use and exposure under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). ADAO is incredibly grateful to the 11 Attorneys General and 5 public health organizations who supported our case. This has been more than a two-year legal battle, but we are proud to say that we reached a settlement with EPA. This is a huge step forward in prevention and elimination of all asbestos-caused diseases. Next up - a commercial ban bill.
ADAO’s 11th Zoom Conversation: The Global Asbestos Fight for Human Rights and Justice, is scheduled for Wednesday, July 21st at 12 PM ET to discuss the human rights violations and efforts to seek justice both nationally and internationally. The conversation will feature amazing global activists Barry Castleman ScD, Ashok Ghosh PhD (India), Fernanda Giannasi (Brazil), Gopal Krishna PhD, (India), and Silvana Mossano (Italy). Due to Zoom security, please register HERE to reserve your spot.
At the end of June we honored the life of our dear friend, Mike Mattmuller, who lost his battle with mesothelioma on April 14, 2020. Mike was one- of- a- kind. After being diagnosed with this horrible disease at the age of 29, Mike and his wife Jessica became strong advocates to ban asbestos and promote research for a cure. We will forever remember Mike for his friendship, advocacy, and wise voice for asbestos victims.
Together we are making a change.
