    Dearborn factory believed to have produced dangerous asbestos AP
    Federal officials are investigating a plant that may have processed a form of asbestos for nearly 50 years, putting workers and thousands of Michigan homeowners at risk.

    Vermiculite arrived by trainloads for decades in Michigan from a mine in Libby, Mont. and was processed mainly into home insulation under the brand name Zonolite. The plant also made a fireproofing product called Mono-Kote.

    The plant, Zono-lite/W.R. Grace, is the target of a federal investigation, begun in 2000.
