March 25, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

People with asbestos-related diseases – and their carers – have been invited to attend a free morning tea which will be held at the Kingaroy RSL Club next week.<\/p>\n

The Asbestos Disease Support Society is hosting the morning tea in conjunction with Brisbane-based Turner Freeman Lawyers.<\/p>\n

It’s an opportunity for people who have an asbestos-related disease, their families and carers – and people who have cared for someone in the past – to get together, chat and share experiences.<\/p>\n

There will also be information available about various asbestos diseases and the supports available.<\/p>\n

The morning tea will be held from 10:00am to 11:00am on Thursday, April 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Asbestos-related diseases can range from mild lung damage to aggressive cancers such as mesothelioma.<\/p>\n

When asbestos fibres are breathed in, they can lodge in lung tissue, causing inflammation and scarring. Serious diseases often take many years, if not decades, to develop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Asbestos is ubiquitous in Australian homes and workplaces.<\/p>\n

It can be found in multiple places including flat and corrugated wall and roof sheets, gutters, ridge caps, eaves, ceilings,\u00a0splashbacks, vinyl floor tiles,\u00a0underlay sheeting, electrical meter boards, old ironing-board covers, heatproof mats, wood heater insulation, brake and clutch linings, filters and adhesive products, and hot-water pipe insulation.<\/p>\n

In fact, there are more than 3000 known products that contain asbestos.<\/p>\n

The use of asbestos in building materials in Australia stopped in the 1980s but the\u00a0use of all asbestos products was not banned until 2004.<\/p>\n

To RSVP for the morning tea, phone 1800-776-412 or email<\/a> the Asbestos Disease Support Society by March 28.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
