Alan Howells died at the age of 56 after being diagnosed with the rare and deadly asbestos related cancer mesothelioma.
While most of those who are diagnosed with the fatal and painful disease worked on boats or at manufacturing plants, Alan received his asbestos exposure through his plumbing work. Alan began working as a plumber at the age of 15 and was exposed to asbestos over the course of his career on a regular basis, including when he mixed cement and used it to install pipes and boilers into homes and buildings.
Neither Alan nor his wife Anna said they knew about the dangers of asbestos exposure when Alan began his job as a plumber, and Alan’s widow fears for he safety of her children in case they suffered secondary asbestos exposure from the fibers and dust on her late husband’s clothes and skin.
Mesothelioma is a cancer that afflicts the membrane that surrounds the heart, lungs and bowels. Because it is difficult to diagnose, the diagnosis is usually a death sentence. The only known, proven cause of mesothelioma cancer is asbestos exposure.
