A resolution designating the first week of April 2021 as "National Asbestos Awareness Week".

Bill 117 S.Res. 145, also known as the "National Asbestos Awareness Week" resolution, aims to designate the first week of April 2021 as a time to raise awareness about the dangers of asbestos exposure. Asbestos is a mineral that was commonly used in construction materials for many years, but has since been linked to serious health risks, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

The resolution highlights the importance of educating the public about the risks of asbestos exposure and the steps that can be taken to prevent it. It also recognizes the efforts of organizations and individuals who are working to raise awareness about the dangers of asbestos and support those who have been affected by asbestos-related diseases.

By designating the first week of April as "National Asbestos Awareness Week," the resolution aims to bring attention to this important issue and encourage individuals and communities to take action to protect themselves and others from the harmful effects of asbestos exposure. It is a bipartisan effort to promote public health and safety and ensure that all Americans have access to the information and resources they need to stay safe and healthy.
