The mesothelioma law firm of Baron and Budd is excited to announce that Charles Leventstein, Professor Emeritus of Work Environment Policy at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, will be a featured speaker at the 2013 Asbestos Disease Awareness (ADAO) Conference. Dr. Levenstein will be presenting a conference session entitled: "Lessons Learned from AHERA: Asbestos Management in Schools." Baron and Budd is a platinum sponsor of ADAO and is excited to hear from Dr. Levenstein and learn about his research regarding asbestos in the work community.

"Dr. Levenstein is an excellent choice for the ADAO conference and will provide a unique insight into asbestos safety today," said Russell Budd, founder and managing shareholder of Baron and Budd. "I am certain he will provide a keen perspective on where we are today with the real dangers of asbestos exposure."

Dr. Levenstein received his Ph.D. in economics from MIT and his master's degree in physiology and occupational health from Harvard School of Public Health.

The ninth annual 2013 ADAO Conference, "The Asbestos Crisis: New Trends in Prevention and Treatment," will take place March 22-24, 2013 at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Virginia. The conference will feature a host of honorees and speakers and will center around four key topic areas: patient advocacy, prevention, medical advancements and a global ban on asbestos. Linda Reinstein, CEO and co-founder of ADAO, decided to include a new session to address the dangerous effects associated with asbestos in the aftermath of natural disasters such as Hurricane Sandy.
