A resolution designating the first week of April 2022 as "National Asbestos Awareness Week".

Bill 117 S.Res. 561, also known as the "National Asbestos Awareness Week" resolution, aims to designate the first week of April 2022 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 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.
