    W.R. Grace will fund up to $140 million to mesothelioma and other asbestos claimants - Mesothelioma News
    W.R. Grace’s Zonolite insulation was made of vermiculite, largely from the company’s mine in Libby, Montana. The vermiculite ore was contaminated with asbestos, which caused thousands of Libby residents to develop mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. Zonolite attic insulation was then used in millions of homes in the U.S. and Canada, exposing many more people to asbestos.
