Mesothelioma compensation and the annual ADAO conference

When Britain finally banned the use of all asbestos in August, 1999, many were quick to hail the end of the "asbestos century". And while it can be said that when John Prescott applied his signature to the the Asbestos (Prohibitions) (Amendment) Regulations five years ahead of schedule an important landmark was reached, it has also become clear that the legacy of asbestos will last long into the 21st century, with thousands of new cases of asbestos-related death and illness being recorded in the UK each year, as well as an ever-growing list of mesothelioma compensation claims.

Worldwide the substance continues to pose a threat, notably in developing countries such as India, Pakistan and China, and in no small part down to the reluctance of Canada to accept the scientific consensus on asbestos and stop production and export of the deadly industrial material.

Fortunately, global movements exist to ensure that complacency does not allow for future epidemics of industrial illness. One such is the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO), which in March will be hosting its fifth ever Annual International Asbestos Awareness Conference.

The conference, which in previous years has come to other cities, including London, is this year in California and will attempt to tackle all issues surrounding the substance - from research to patient treatment and from discussion of effective bans on its use to the efficacy of the world's mesothelioma compensation systems.
