Leading Health Industry Journal Recognizes Importance of Asbestos Awareness

REDONDO BEACH, Calif. -- The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO), an organization dedicated to serving as the voice of asbestos victims, today announced that the American Journal of Industrial Medicine (AJIM) will publish selected papers, proceedings and photos from the 2006 Asbestos Awareness Day conference in their January 2007 issue.

"The AJIM has once again shown its leadership in the field of occupational medicine by publishing materials from the second annual ADAO conference," stated Arthur L. Frank, M.D., Ph.D, Co-Chair ADAO Scientific Advisory Committee. "We thank them for their continued support and special attention to the problem of asbestos-related diseases, especially mesothelioma, as we maintain our fight against the use of asbestos in every part of the world."

"It is heartwarming to know that the American Journal of Industrial Medicine maintains the dialog between scientists and victims of preventable industrial disease and death," stated Richard A. Lemen, Ph.D, Assistant Surgeon General (ret) and Co-Chair ADAO Scientific Advisory Committee. "The AJIM, established by the pioneering American researcher on asbestos-related diseases, Dr. Irving J. Selikoff, continues to report new scientific findings concerning asbestos-related diseases and their prevention every day."

"ADAO is pleased that a leading health publication such as the American Journal of Industrial Medicine, is contributing to our cause by publishing these important facts about the risks of asbestos," stated ADAO Executive Director Linda Reinstein. "AJIM realizes that the industrial use of dangerous asbestos fibers must be banned worldwide. By working together, we can make a difference by preventing the future use of these hazardous materials."
