Is California's State Rock Opening Up Asbestos Litigation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
State Sen. Gloria Romero, D-Los Angeles, has introduced legislation to drop serpentine as the Golden State's top rock. According to the California Geological Survey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], naturally occurring serpentine "often" contains chrysotile,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which in its fibrous form is the most common type of asbestos. Romero says California shouldn't be heralding a rock with ties to a carcinogen.
But last week, Sacramento Bee columnist Dan Walters suggested that Romero's bill goes a lot farther than that. Preston, press secretary for the CAOC, called Walters' suggestion "outrageous and wrong." Stripping the state-rock moniker from serpentine will simply send a "symbolic message" that the state doesn't support the use of asbestos, the CAOC said in a letter of support.
"… Whether the legislature chooses to recognize a 'state rock' or not, and what rock is designated,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has absolutely nothing to do with lawsuits over the health effects of asbestos," Preston said in an email.
SB 624, which received bipartisan votes in committee, is awaiting a full vote in the Assembly.
Neither the Kazan, McClain nor Waters Kraus nor other California asbestos litigation firm has ever brought a lawsuit alleging their client asbestos related disease is caused in whole or part to exposure to naturally occurring California serpentine rock. Moreover, there is not one epidemiological or other scientific study that convincingly shows asbestos in naturally occuring California serpentine causes asbestos related disease (See, Pan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], et al., 2005). To load the bill with adjectives describing serpentine as "deadly" is misleading and inflamatory. This is wrong,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], furthermore, because it abrogates geological and historical reality. This has to be seen as an effort to burnish the bills supporters abilities to attract clients,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], encourage litigation and fan fear among citizens (especially in areas studied by the DTSC in El Dorado County). The Legislature should look at the science,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], talk to its government scientists at the DTSC and then get back to working on bigger issues (like a budget) and not be sucked into this.
Other states have dangerous rocks as well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that are not so easily dealt with. That isn precisely true. Not precisely. I worked on two cases brought by these asbestos litigation firms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one which did indeed claim the real cause of disease as environmental (though they named the wrong fiber type and serpentine),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the other skated the issue because it is a slightly harder case to make although the cause was life long exposure to natural occurring Tremolite. The Pan investigation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which I inspired,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was a first attempt in California although such papers have successfully delineated epidemics caused by Tremolite, Crocidolite and Erionite in literally hundreds of areas of the world. (See Metsovo,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], New Caledonia, Crete, Cyprus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Turkey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], China,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Australia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], etc etc ad infinitum).
The main reason these law suits aren common knowledge, or more importantly the attorneys sue the wrong people for the wrong reasons, is that there is a set list of defendants who settle quite easily. If I were an attorney I would not bring a case that was hard to delineate, when there is a whole group of really wealthy defendants out there who cave in quite readily,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], relatively.
As it works out, somewhere slightly less than 1/2 of all mesotheliomas worldwide, are caused by exposures to natural occurring amphibole and erionite deposits or sources. It is no different in California. In the case of Tremolite we see that the diseases are not just mesothelioma but strong lung disorders in about 20% of the isolated population exposed. We don see this 20% with environmental serpentine.
So although I agree with you basically regarding Serpentine,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the elephant in the room in California are the Tremolite deposits mapped in California in the early 1960 (and the extreme likelihood that we have erionite deposits in California also). These are not serpentine and they generate human as well as some animal disease just as easily and readily as this material does in other parts of the world. We simply have a legal structure that helps hide it all from the future victims.
