Mesothelioma lawyers: Mesothelioma study of mine workers underway

Mesothelioma lawyers Weitz & Luxenberg would like the public to know that it has been reported that the University of Minnesota School of Public Health has started a study of mine workers to understand why the rate of mesothelioma diagnosis is twice the expected rate in Northeastern Minnesota. The school is looking for 1,200 mine workers and 800 spouses to take part in the study. The study will require them to undergo physical checkups, x-rays, breathing tests and blood work over a two year period.
