NDP demands action on former Zonolite plants CBC Manitoba
WINNIPEG – Federal NDP leader Jack Layton was in Winnipeg Friday to lead a campaign trying to force the federal government to clean up former vermiculite-processing plant sites across the country that could be contaminated with asbestos.
Zonolite, a popular type of insulation used in hundreds of thousands of Canadian homes, was made from the mineral vermiculite, which came from a W.R. Grace mine in Montana that was naturally contaminated with an extremely carcinogenic form of asbestos.------------------------------------------- posted 11:55 AM :: reference link ::
