A man in Colorado has been accused of keeping asbestos in a storage facility instead of disposing of it properly.

The man's company removed the asbestos from a number of different sites, according to this article. He was indicted on nine counts, including failing to label containers and the failure to deposit the asbestos immediately, according to the article.

Asbestos is a dangerous substance that has been linked to numerous health issues. Only trained professionals with proper safety gear should remove asbestos, and once removed it should be disposed of properly. Even brief exposure to asbestos has been linked to mesothelioma, a rare but often deadly form of cancer. If you or a loved one has been exposed to asbestos, you should seek legal council.
