So glad I don't live in Kensington! Anyone there getting lung cancer? You might what to call an attorney. Or, you can "trust" MCPS and the county council.

Because related diseases do not surface until decades after exposure, the health hazards created by this exposure did not receive widespread public attention until the late 1960s and the 1970s.

Soon, the health risks of asbestos were too big to hide
