An Air That Kills, a Review By JOHN HOLT, CounterPunch
Greed, Apathy, Dead People
An Air That Kills: How the Asbestos Poisoning of Libby, Montana, Uncovered a National Scandal is about small-town Montana and the devastating horrors visited on it by a vermiculite mine owned by those fun-loving corporate bastards at W.R. Grace & Co, and the Zonolite Company before it. The mining of vermiculite, used in products ranging from insulation to potting soil, led to exposure to asbestos that caused and is causing the deaths of hundreds of Libby residents. Grace knew of the dangers, but didn't tell the workers or their families of the deadly dangers associated with living in an environment where more than two and a half tons of asbestos were released into the town's air every day, when One heavy exposure or even one tiny fiber can inaugurate the downward spiral to the grave.------------------------------------------- posted 11:34 AM :: reference link ::
