The Senate formally designated the first week of April 2025 as National Asbestos Awareness Week, marking the 20th year of this annual observance. The resolution — which was agreed to by the Senate — urges the Surgeon General to warn and educate the public about asbestos-related health risks, including mesothelioma and other cancers that can take decades to appear and have no known cure. It is a symbolic designation that does not change regulations or create new legal requirements.
