• www.mesotheliomajointcompound.com - Prior to the late 1970's, asbestos was used as a filler material in joint compound, also known as drywall cement or mud. Contractors and laborers were exposed to asbestos, through the application and clean-up processes of joint compound. Even those who worked in an area where asbestos-containing joint compound was mixed, sanded or swept-up are at risk for developing mesothelioma or lung cancer.

This website is dedicated to carpenters who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer as a result of their work.
