Did not affect the addition of the word “murderer” on the pack of cigarettes to smokers often, they still cling to the cigarette, at a time in which the German Federal Center for Health Research that 380 people die every day in Germany because of the effects of smoking. This number exceeds the total number of dying of AIDS and drug addiction, alcohol and suicide combined. But the phenomenon that is spreading among young people is the phenomenon of large water pipe smoking (shisha), both in the Arab world or in the West.

- Nicotine: What causes a nervous system, and thus is responsible for the addiction to smoking
- Ammonia: to make nicotine more capable of melting in the blood, and thus to accelerate the process of addiction
- Peppermint: It exists in all types of tobacco, even those that do not remember, in particular, is working to reduce the cough associated with smoking

What makes the threat of a water pipe or water pipe more?

But all of the above is not much different from regular cigarettes damage, but that the studies confirm that the bubble contains more harmful substances. The study by the German Federal Institute in order to assess the risks of waterpipe has proved that it also contains a proportion of the tar and carbon monoxide single-product of burning coal. In addition, the body absorbs while smoking a water pipe materials such as arsenic, nickel and chromium-intensive high. This material is destroyed and lung function and facilitate cancer. Experts also said the status of workers Cancer Research at the University of Heidelberg, 70 chemical produced smoking waterpipes. Doctors believe it is also cancer-causing, not only to lung cancer but also cancer of the mouth, oral cavity, in addition to the various tumors and lesions caused by the lips.

The shisha smoking for a longer period: A person needs five minutes to smoke a cigarette while they may continue for an hour in a water pipe smoking, so the damage is greater because of the smoke more time and more deeply absorbed in the lungs, because it is cool before reaching it. The water is not the nomination of harmful substances from tobacco and, therefore, is absorbing a portion of these toxic substances up to 80% sometimes. The fixed rule, the first official in charge of the oil spill, which consists of the lung, which is to raise the risk of causing lung cancer thirty times, and usually leads to lung cancer death.

Not only disease that can be caused by smoking the water pipe on the cancer and heart disease only, but to participate in the shisha smoking can cause transmission of other diseases such as HIV Alakbolp which causes painful blisters in the face, as well as hepatitis, tuberculosis and fungal infections. Is noteworthy that the spread of these diseases in poor countries significantly. Syria has paid attention to this danger, and wanted to study this phenomenon in collaboration with the University of Munster, Germany and the universities of Virginia and Memphis, the Americas, establishing the Syrian Center for Tobacco Research in the city of Aleppo. The project aims to intensify the joint research of smoking, especially in poor countries, which suffer from the effects of significantly. They also take part in the financing of the project is also the World Health Organization and the Canadian government.

Construction Journal Reports Mesothelioma Deaths To Peak By 2015??

Working in the construction industry can be a dangerous job, as the number of fatalities and injuries continue to rise and are accounting for one-third of all employment fatalities, according to the most recent 2007/2008 Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) statistics. However, one of the most dangerous and hidden killers of construction industry employees may actually be the development of mesothelioma cancer, according to an October 2008 issue of Contract Journal.

The journal reported that of the several reasons construction workers die on the job include the following:

* falls from height
* moving or falling objects
* moving machinery
* slips and trips
* asbestos exposure

Of the mesothelioma and asbestosis deaths, the HSE reports that, “in 2006 there were 111 deaths from asbestosis and 2,056 from mesothelioma and the HSE expects deaths from mesothelioma to peak at some point between current levels and 2,450 at some time before 2015.” An additional report from the HSE found that in the United Kingdom alone, there were approximately 4,000 deaths from mesothelioma each year, with a large portion of this number likely deriving from employees within the construction industry.

Mesothelioma cancer is caused by exposure to asbestos fibers and asbestos dust. Asbestos, which was derived from a mineral known as vermiculite, was heavily mined and valued within the construction industry for its fire-retardant qualities as well as its inexpensive costs for mass production. The Occupation and Safety Health Administration (OSHA) describes asbestos in the construction industry as a “a group of naturally occurring, fibrous minerals with high tensile strength, flexibility, and resistance to heat, chemicals and electricity.” It was used, according to OSHA, as part of the following products within the construction industry:

* sprayed-on fireproofing
* pipe insulation
* drywall joint compounds
* roofing felts and shingles
* ceiling tiles
* fire-resistant drywall
* acoustical products
* cement pipe and sheet
* floor tiles

Asbestos and Construction

While OSHA has developed standards for the construction industry as per the Occupational Standards Safety Act of 1970, the industry remains unregulated to a degree. For example, a recent report from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) found that a standard U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) check in Florida revealed thousands of falsified documents for individuals employed to remove asbestos. It is a legal requirement that individuals who are in charge of asbestos removal receive authentic certification for their employment. However, thousands of documents had been forged with false or illegally obtained social security numbers.

Developing Mesothelioma Litigation

Individuals who have suffered from the debilitating condition of mesothelioma cancer could potentially qualify for a return of monetary compensation with the development of a mesothelioma lawsuit. If costly medical bills become too much for an individual who is suffering from this rare and painful condition, they may be able to discuss litigation with a knowledgeable mesothelioma attorney.
