Labeled a killer 30 years ago

Once considered a miracle mineral, used to strengthen and insulate the products it was added to, asbestos is now known as an airborne killer to miners, factory workers, shipyard workers, Navy veterans and construction workers. Many of these workers–and their loved ones—were unknowingly exposed to asbestos’s, tiny fibers. These fibers, which not only are as strong as steel, can also be delicately woven like cotton into a multitude of products. These attributes—along with its ability to be highly resistant to heat and chemicals—made asbestos an instant commercial success in the mid-1900’s.

A broad-range of products

Asbestos found its way into a broad-range of products from theater stage curtains, reinforced cement products, roof shingles, and home insulation to even filters of cigarettes and children’s crayons.
