Description

Beyond the Factory Gates examines the history of asbestos and public health in the United States from the early 1900s to the mid-1970s. This book provides an important look into occupational health by analyzing the emergence of medical concerns regarding three fatal diseases: asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Readers gain insight into the complex relationship between industry and safety, including the actions of the US Navy as a primary consumer of asbestos-based insulation. The text covers the federal government's response both before and after the 1970 Occupational Safety and Health Act, while also examining the roles played by organized labor and the asbestos industry. This work is a detailed resource for those studying business and economic history or the evolution of industrial health regulations in America.
