Aka Household Exposure Claim
As reported by the British Press Association
February 2007
Mrs. Debra Brewer, 47, has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, an asbestos-related disease, is to file suit against the Ministry of Defense claiming that when she was a child, hugging her asbestos dust covered father as he arrived home from work, caused her mesothelioma.
Mrs. Brewer said she remembered that her dad would always arrive home from work covered in dust, but as a young child she never imagined that as she hugged and played with her father, the dust he was coated in could be life-threatening.Â
Mrs. Brewer’s only known asbestos exposure is through her fathers’ dusty work clothes. (This is also known as household exposure). Her father, Phillip Northmore, worked as a lagger at Devonport Dockyard in Plymouth for five years in the 1960s when she was a child. It is reported that Mr. Phillip Northmore died from small cell lung cancer, which was linked to asbestos.Â
