Tragic though it is, we are all used to hearing about the high occupational risk of asbestos-related disease endured by the likes of fire fighters, plumbers, and heating engineers. One working group that we rarely see mentioned, however, is teachers.

Among the most common structures in which asbestos was used were municipal buildings like schools. Sustained exposure in these buildings to staff, such as teachers can actually be harmed by older asbestos fixtures.

Food for thought eh?
