Natural Exposure

Living in the El Dorado hills of California might be living dangerously. A UC Davis study concludes that exposure to natural-ocurring asbestos may cause cancer. Since asbestos is in the state rock of California and asbestos-containing rock is present in Northern California, I suspect asbestos lawyers may start asking if plaintiffs ever lived in there areas and what they did there. I suspect it also means that we'll be seeing more asbestos cases from folks that had no workplace exposure.
