| Description: | Until the mid 70's asbestos was used in many of the commodities & industrial processes which made global capitalism so successful. The discovery of the connection between asbestos & cancer made it a major environmental & occupational health issue in the Western world. Most of the world's blue asbestos is still mined in South Africa, where industry & government have been slow to respond to the environmental & health issues. |
| Key Points: | -
A global industry - The mines - The companies - Medical history - Life on the mines - Women miners |
