Japan s asbestos disasters, encompassing both occupational
disease and environmental pollution, have been caused principally
by the asbestos textile, asbestos cement water pipe, and
construction industries. This book is unique in its
interdisciplinary approach to those disasters as it incorporates
medical science, economics, political science, law, architecture,
environmental engineering, sociology, and journalism. Written by
authorities in their fields, the chapters reflect the integration
of these disciplines in topics that include a historical review of
asbestos issues in Japan, asbestos-related diseases, international
aspects of the asbestos industry, public policy, divisions of
responsibility, relief activities in emergencies, and
countermeasures enacted by local governments. The lessons of
asbestos problems and policies in Japan are particularly important
for developing countries to prevent the proliferation of asbestos
disasters. This volume serves as a textbook on asbestos issues for
all countries, especially where there is widespread use of
asbestos.
