The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization recently announced the keynote speakers and the honorees for the upcoming Asbestos Awareness Conference, Where Knowledge and Action Unite!

The conference will be April 4 through 6, 2014 in Arlington, VA at the Crystal Gateway Marriott.

“As ADAO unveils our 10th annual conference, we are reminded that while we have greatly advanced education, asbestos is still legal and lethal in the United States. More than 31 million tons of asbestos have been used since 1900 and imports continue today. Asbestos is an invisible toxin that kills 30 Americans each day and prevention remains the only cure.” – Linda Reinstein, President/CEO and Co-Founder of ADAO
