The Secretary of the Smithsonian, G. Wayne Clough, recently assured Congress that the existence of asbestos in various Smithsonian buildings was not a safety hazard for workers or museum visitors. The Secretary’s testimony was in response to allegations that the institution failed to provide adequate warnings about the asbestos after it was a discovered that a long-time employee was diagnosed with asbestosis, a non-malignant lung disease that is caused by asbestos exposure. Secretary Clough stated that no indication of risk was observed for museum visitors. He also stated that he’s also ordered free medical screenings for any employees and volunteers of the museum who want them.
