Martin Ditkof has been involved in asbestos related issues since losing his father to Mesothelioma in 1981 and then, later in his career, working as an inhouse attorney for corporations.  His goal is public education focused on asbestos history.  In reaching for this goal, he is currently attending the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs Master of Arts in History program where his research involves asbestos history, runs his website at www.TheAsbestosBlog.com, writes weekly asbestos-related blogs posted on that website, provides historical asbestos documents to an international network of friends, and focuses on asbestos issues affecting workers in underdeveloped countries such as Bangladesh.  He is married with four adult children.
