Agent Orange - Toxic Chemicals - Aviation Fuels

Haven't had a good look at the site yet. But an interesting piece of trivia for you since the greenies got DDT banned & the spraying of mossies for malaria banned because it compromised the environment we now have a worldwide death rate of 5 million babies per year die from malaria.

Defence Health Services and the Defence Asbestos Registration Service
database.

Until the 1970's asbestos was commonly used as a building material in many
Australian buildings. It was frequently used in ships for lagging, fire
retarding and soundproofing until the 1990's. Because of this common
industry practice some Defence buildings and (All?) naval vessels contain
asbestos.

If you feel you may have been exposed to asbestos, (if your were a member of
the RAN there is no "may have been" involved - you were!), and you want
further advice on possible exposure to asbestos, the Department of Defence -
in conjunction with Health Services Australia - conducts a free service for
assessment, counselling and, if necessary testing. You can access this
service by contacting the Health Services Australia office in your region,
on the following phone numbers, but you will first need to contact the
Defence Call Centre on 1800 000 655 and obtain a reference number.

Also for those people wanting to have their names entered onto the Beryllium Registry they must call the following number 1800 000 644

Be advised that the call centre number can be difficult to get on to, so you
will need to persevere.
You will need to have the above reference number when you call the Health
Services Australia numbers below.
