Follow on Google News | Clark Seif Clark Asbestos Expert Shares Knowledge with the AICACSC’s Derrick Dennis shares his extensive asbestos expertise with the Arizona Insurance Claims Association (AICA).
His article appeared in the March issue of the AICA Bulletin and was entitled, “Expert’s Corner-The ABC’s of Asbestos.” Although some people may not consider asbestos to be the health concern it was 10 or 20 years ago, Mr. Denis reminds readers that asbestos is still with us. “Massive numbers of industry rookies and veterans alike are entirely unaware or are horribly misinformed regarding this federally, state and locally regulated material,” wrote Mr. Denis. “My involvement with recent responses to hurricane Sandy confirmed this theory. Few are considering asbestos as thousands of Sandy-impacted buildings are torn apart, thereby potentially exposing workers and occupants to this known hazard and extending the liability of building owners and operators,” he continued. Many people don’t realize that products containing asbestos can still be found in the United States. The article states, “Still today, over 3,000 different asbestos-containing products are imported and used in the U.S. By all indications no change in asbestos policy is forthcoming for the foreseeable future.” There are a host of medical conditions that can develop years after exposure to asbestos fibers. These include pleural plaque, pleural effusion, asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.
