You may be aware of asbestos, a mineral once deemed to be the “miracle mineral”, due to its fire-resistant properties. The military relied heavily on asbestos for decades, using it in many of their products like in ships, aircraft, and barracks. Because of this, veterans are more likely than others to be affected by mesothelioma cancer, making up almost 1/3 of all cases. Learn more:
