Magic Mineral to Killer Dust - Turner & Newall and the Asbestos Hazard (Paperback, Revised)

Asbestos was once known as the 'magic mineral' because of its ability to withstand flames. Yet since the 1960s, it has become a notorious and feared 'killer dust' that is responsible for thousands of deaths and an epidemic that continues into the new millennium. This is the first comprehensive history of the UK asbestos health problem, which provides an in-depth look at the occupational health experience of one of the world's leading asbestos companies -- British asbestos giant, Turner and Newall.
