For decades, asbestos has been widely used in numerous industrial and civil sectors, thanks to its exceptional resistance to fire and wear. However, behind this apparent utility, a fatal danger is hidden. Exposure to its fibers represents a very serious risk for health, with devastating effects that can occur even after decades from the first contact.
Although prohibited in many countries since the late 90s, theasbestos It remains a concrete threat, especially for those who have worked closely with this material or live in environments where it has not yet been safely removed.
Every year, thousands of people receive diagnoses of asbestos -related pathologies, including mesothelioma, asbestosis and other serious respiratory diseases. The fight against this health emergency remains open on several fronts: awareness of public opinion, request for justice for the victims and implementation of effective strategies to prevent new exhibitions.
Inform about the consequences of asbestos, prevention and legal actions
Queli di Frascati is a conference of great importance, which aims to face these crucial themes. The event intends to inform citizens, industry experts, institutions and victims on the consequences of asbestos, on the methods of prevention and on possible legal actions for those who have suffered damage from the exhibition.
The danger was not defeated
Although in Italy the ban of asbestos has been in force for over thirty years, the danger has not been defeated. Pleuric mesothelioma, one of the most aggressive pathologies related to the inhalation of its fibers, can develop even after decades. Many workers exposed between the 80s and 90s are now facing dramatic diagnosis, often without the possibility of care.
Adopt concrete measures to guarantee justice to workers
The urgency of adopting concrete measures to guarantee justice to workers affected by disabling diseases emerges at the center of the debate. The recognition of social security benefits becomes an essential goal for the victims and their families, forced to face long and complex bureaucratic battles to obtain the rights that are up to them. The fight against asbestos is not yet over, and only a decisive commitment by the institutions will be able to prevent this tragedy from continuing to hit new generations.
