Re: Asbestos

A friend of mine has a husband who has asbestosis, which he got during years as a maintenance fitter for CEGB Huncoat Power Station.

They had a long stressful battle to get compen, and eventually settled out of court.
His case was stronger than some because he has never smoked cigarettes, so his breathing problems cannot be partly blamed on smoking.

The problem arises because decades can elapse between exposure and symptoms.
