Check out these links about Asbestos and Mesothelioma Cancer


USS Higbee is one of those ships built at Bath Iron Works Shipyard. Asbestos was used as an insulator for many parts of the engine room and boiler room. Asbestos exposure has been linked to mesothelioma cancer.

It is important to spread awareness about this terrible disease and to get good information out there about “Mesothelioma and Veterans”.
