13th Annual Global Asbestos Awareness Week – April 1st – 7th 2017

3rd April 2017

The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organisation (ADAO) is continuing into its 13th year, with its successful campaign regarding Global Asbestos Awareness Week (GAAW), which is designed to bring worldwide attention to the ongoing importance of preventing disease through exposure to asbestos.  Despite the fact that it is a known and recognised carcinogen (with no safe levels of exposure), asbestos still remains legal in many places around the world.  ADAO’s vision is to eliminate asbestos-related diseases, including mesothelioma.

The ADAO has built an unparalleled library of educational asbestos materials, including contributions from distinguished medical, health and safety, and scientific professionals.  Its aim is to collaborate with other countries around the world and with public health organisations to eliminate asbestos-related disease.
