Are you experiencing short breath, persistent cough and pain in the lower part of your chest?, then I have a sure bet on you. Mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer is what you’re suffering from.
Asbestos; strong, affordable, resistance to heat, fire, chemical and electrical damages, is a naturally occuring mineral fibre. It is known for its’ insulation power. Therefore it gained so much ground among builders and manufacturers of the 20th century due to its attractive qualities. Its’ use continued up till the end of the last century when the government considered it a life threatening substance.
“Superceil are made from cellulose, other Reinforcing fibres and high quality portland cement. It has a Plain surface on one side and a coarse grain on the reverse side. It comes in natural grey colour and a standard size of 1220mm x 1220mm ” –Nigerite
Contrary to public believe and what we used to know, Nigerite’s MD in an interview with the Nigerian Guardian Newspaper two years ago claimed they no longer use asbestos. He said they stopped its’ use since 2002 in compliance with the Federal Government and International Labour Organizations’ directive.
Up till this moment, a lot of people still refer to their ceiling tiles as asbestos even when it doesn’t contain a bit of it. However, for buildings built before the year 2002, it’s safe to say they most definitely contain asbestos. We can then infer that almost everyone at one time or the other had been in contact with this silent killer. It is a silent killer because an asbestos-related illness may not appear for years.
When it finally does, the rightful thing to do is to file a law suit or personal injury claim against the manufacturer or your employer as the case may be, depending on how and where you got an exposure, prolonged enough to cause the injury. This personal injury claim helps to get a compensation for the victim. You need an Asbestos Attorney to file your claim. He uses precedence, medical diagnoses report and other investigations to help you win your claim. The statute of limitations for this claim is 3 years starting from the time of medical diagnose.
Lastly, else you’re talking about the Canadian city “Asbestos, Quebec”, please stop refering to your ceilings tiles as asbestos.
