We support leaders in the field of mesothelioma treatment, advocacy and education.

The International Mesothelioma Program (IMP) focuses on leading-edge treatment for mesothelioma. Baron & Budd was one of the earliest supporters of IMP, serving on the Executive Advisory Board and generously donating to mesothelioma treatment research.

 


In this video IMP founder, Dr. David Sugarbaker, speaks to Russell Budd about new treatments for mesothelioma.

It’s 2012, and asbestos is still a global health issue.

Most people think that asbestos is a thing of the past, but, even in 2012, asbestos is still a global health crisis that will continue to harm people for decades. Asbestos is only banned in approximately 55 countries, and the United States is not one of them. In fact, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in 2010 the U.S. imported approximately 820 metric tons of asbestos. Most of that asbestos was used in consumer roofing materials.

Asbestos is still mined and exported from Canada, though the country has banned its use at home. Asbestos is still heavily used in several developing nations, such as India.

Though some progress has been made, there is still a long way to go in the global battle against asbestos.
