The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization

Prevent asbestos exposure, eradicate asbestos-related diseases, and protect victims’ civil rights via education, advocacy, and community support.

The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) was founded by Linda Reinstein and Doug Larkin in 2004 and headquartered in Redondo Beach, California. ADAO is the largest independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the U.S. dedicated to preventing asbestos exposure, eliminating asbestos-related diseases, and protecting asbestos victims’ civil rights through education, advocacy, and community initiatives.
