Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Cancer / September 2004asbestos risk at SolFest 2004
Anyone who has visited SolFest, the alternative energy festival in Hopland, California, should be aware that they may have been exposed to natural asbestos. It was in the rear area of the parking lot but the wind probably carried the fibers throughout the local area including the SolFest main site. The air-quality district has verified that the crumbly serpentine rocks in the rear parking area contain more than the legal limit of asbestos. The type of cancer that one gets from asbestos is called mesothelioma, and it takes 10-20 years to appear. http://www.geocities.com/solfest > Anyone who has visited SolFest, the alternative energy festival > in Hopland, California, should be aware that they may have [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > http://www.geocities.com/solfest Cancer caused by asbestos requires chronic exposure. Why frighten people unnecessarily? Here's some good info on Asbestos exposure and cancer risk. Often people are exposed in home remodel or demoltion, or working in construction trades, auto (brake pads) or pipe insulation. Most modern exposure is due to disturbing materials during home remodel/demo. Read here for some excellent information: http://www.netmed.com/links/asbestos-exposure.htm Some materials include asbestos tile, asbestos siding, pipe insulation, plaster from certain time periods, etc/ There are naturally ocurring occassions like mentioned in this email as well, but not likely as serious. > > Anyone who has visited SolFest, the alternative energy festival > > in Hopland, California, should be aware that they may have [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Cancer caused by asbestos requires chronic exposure. > Why frighten people unnecessarily?

No minimum is known, but almost everyone has had some exposure to asbestos in the western world. They aren't all dropping from mesothelioma. Go and enjoy your 15 minutes of notoriety elsewhere No minimum is known, but almost everyone has had some exposure to asbestos > in the western world. They aren't all dropping from mesothelioma. > Go and enjoy your 15 minutes of notoriety elsewhere Steph the continual pessimist continues to not want to make a simple phone call to prove to herself and others that there is a Canadian company with natural products that will assist in chemo and radio therapies, makes them work better, reduces energy loss, reduces side effects, prevents cancer, reverses cancer, and she refuses to read the Canadian and US medical patents for these products. So Why put so much faith in replies from "Steph'?? Steph is more right than wrong. There have been a few cases of intense expsoure for some months and years, but the principal method of exposure is workplace exposure combined with smoking. It's true there is no safe threshhold, but that's like saying someone could get killed in an automobile accident at 5 miles per hour. >Subject: Re: asbestos risk at SolFest 2004 >From: solfest@yahoo.com (Asbestos at SolFest) [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >Incorrect.
