However, in the early 1980s, the corporation faced major class action lawsuits over asbestos related injuries, such as mesothelioma.Mesothelioma is a rare form of asbestos cancer which attacks the protective lining of the internal body organs such as the lungs, abdomen and cardiovascular. It is ordinarily caused by prolonged asbestos exposure. At present, there is still no proven cure for this disease. Though there were several treatments available to improve the prognosis of its malignancy, the cure still remains exceedingly rare.The business filed chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, but was later resolved by the formation of Manville Trust to pay asbestos tort claimants in an orderly fashion by giving the trust the lion’s share of the equity in the company.

Several countries, including the members of the European Union, now ban the carcinogen’s general use.Colombe, on the other hand, remains steadfast in his belief that chrysotile, the most common type of asbestos and produced at Mine Jeffrey, does not pose any harm to people unlike other forms of asbestos.
