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.
