Ohio School Uses Students To Haul Away Asbestos Materials

In Northeast Ohio, a group of students volunteered during the weekends to help renovate an old building that is expected to become their new school. The Buckeye Education School located in Middleburg Heights is now under a criminal investigation for exposing the group of teenagers to hazardous asbestos materials. Asbestos was found within the pipes, insulation, duct fabric and floor tiles that the students carried to a nearby dumpster.

Exposure to asbestos can cause a variety of serious respiratory problems such as asbestosis and mesothelioma cancer. There is no amount of asbestos exposure that is scientifically considered to be safe. You can read more about the story at the link below.
