Mesothelioma & Asbestos

The number of people diagnosed with asbestos caused diseases in the U.S. continues to increase. Experts believe 60,000 mesothelioma deaths will occur between 2010 and 2030.

Industrial Accidents

Work related injuries harm up to 14 million people annually, with harms including traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, amputations, burns, and electrocutions. Around 20,000 to 60,000 workers die each year from accidents, toxins, and violence at their jobs.

Product Defects

Millions of consumers and workers are injured each year because of defective products. Defects can occur when a product is designed poorly, when a product is manufactured in a manner that differs from the intended design, or when the product does not contain proper warnings or instructions. Defects can occur in automobiles, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, construction equipment, toys, and other goods.

Nursing Home Abuse

Between 1.5 and 2 million elderly reside in nursing home facilities, with studies revealing that 44% have suffered some form of abuse. Many believe the actual number of residents suffering abuse is much higher. Neglect and abuse may result in serious emotional, physical, and financial harm

Actinolite Asbestos

Actinolite is commonly found in metamorphic rocks.  It also occurs as a product of metamorphism of magnesium-rich limestones. Like tremolite, asbestiform actinolite is regulated as asbestos.
 
The old mineral name uralite is at times applied to an alternative form. The metamorphosed gabbro or diabase rock bodies, referred to as epidiorite, contain a considerable amount of this uralitic alteration.

Some forms of asbestos are formed from fibrous actinolite, the fibres being so small that they can enter the lungs and damage the alveoli. Some forms of actinolite are used as gemstones. The first is called nephrite, which is one of the two types of jade (the other being jadeite). Another gem variety of actinolite is the chatoyant form known as cat's-eye actinolite.  This stone is translucent to opaque, and green to yellowish green color.  This variety has had the misnomer jade cat's-eye. Transparent actinolite is rare and is faceted for gem collectors.  Major sources for these forms of actinolite are Taiwan and Canada.  Other sources are Madagascar, Tanzania, and the U. S.
