Shipyard worker dies of peritoneal mesothelioma at age 74
Jerry E. Cain of Port Orchard, Washington, died on July 3 at age 74 from peritoneal mesothelioma. Cain spent the last days of his life at the Hospice Care Center in Bremerton. Peritoneal mesothelioma is a deadly cancer caused by exposure to asbestos that can take decades to manifest. Cain was likely exposed to asbestos during the time when he worked at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for 32 years before retiring in 1991.
Jerry is survived by his wife Sharon, two children, three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

International lobbyists promoting asbestos use in developing countries for decades
The dangers of asbestos are now well documented. Most people in the developed world assume that use of the cancer-causing fiber is banned, but that is not true. A recent report by a group of British investigative journalists documents found shocking levels of asbestos still in use throughout the developing world. Two million tons of asbestos was mined in 2009, and half of it was delivered to countries like Mexico and India. Of course, asbestos use has not been banned even in the United States.
Experts agree that any exposure to asbestos is dangerous, but industry and trade organizations that depend on the income from asbestos mining and sale spend millions to convince builders in developing countries that some types of asbestos are safe. Such a long period of time passes between exposure to asbestos and resulting diseases such as mesothelioma that it might be 40 years or more before the full impact of this deadly deal becomes apparent, particularly in Canada and Russia where it is mined and in countries including India and China where it is used. Asbestos disease, unfortunately, is not a thing of the past.
