Description

Explore the complex history of environmental contamination and human resilience in A Town Called Asbestos. Published by UBC Press, this book examines the legacy of the largest chrysotile asbestos mine in the region. For decades, manufacturers used asbestos globally for fire-retardant products before the medical risks to human health became clear. This work investigates how mining and manufacturing companies managed the risks to workers and the public, and the eventual decline of the industry as asbestos-related deaths became common knowledge. It provides a deep look at how the people of Asbestos, Quebec, lived and worked alongside the mineral, offering a detailed study of nature, history, and society in a resource-dependent community.
