Asbestos dumped in Victoria

A 12 May 2012 article by the Geelong Advertiser reports of an “asbestos dumping ground” being found in this Victorian city.

A beach located in Geelong, Victoria is littered with pieces of asbestos, which are broken up and in a poor state.

If the asbestos fibres become airborne, the inhalation of such fibres can be dangerous. Mesothelioma can be caused by small amount of the inhalation of asbestos.

There have been a number of mesothelioma compensation claims in Victoria from a person being exposed to small amounts of asbestos.
