Book Synopsis A Town Called Asbestos by : Jessica van Horssen
Download or read book A Town Called Asbestos written by Jessica van Horssen and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2016-01-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, manufacturers from around the world relied on asbestos to produce a multitude of fire-retardant products. As use of the mineral became more widespread, medical professionals discovered it had harmful effects on human health. Mining and manufacturing companies downplayed the risks to workers and the general public, but eventually, as the devastating nature of asbestos-related deaths became common knowledge, the industry suffered terminal decline. A Town Called Asbestos looks at how the people of Asbestos, Quebec, worked and lived alongside the largest chrysotile asbestos mine in the world. Dependent on this deadly industry for their community’s survival, they developed a unique, place-based understanding of their local environment; the risks they faced living next to the giant opencast mine; and their place within the global resource trade. This book unearths the local-global tensions that defined Asbestos’s proud history and reveals the challenges similar resource communities have faced – and continue to face today.

Book excerpt: Asbestos as we know, often linked to mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer but can be fatal, IE by, stimulates tumor growth of a layer that surrounds the vital organs. Asbestos is a set of six naturally occurring silicate minerals used commercially for their desirable physical properties. They all have in common their eponymous, asbestiform habit: long (ca. 1:20 aspect ratio), thin fibrous crystals. The prolonged inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause serious illnesses including malignant lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis (a type of pneumoconiosis). The European Union has banned all use of asbestos, as well as the extraction, manufacture, and processing of asbestos products. Asbestos mining began more than 4,000 years ago, but did not start large-scale until the end of the 19th century. For a long time, the world's largest asbestos mine was the Jeffrey mine in the town of Asbestos, Quebec. In this ebook we will learn about the asbestos removal process and safeguard yourself against contracting mesothelioma by using a proper Asbestos Removal Kit, Asbestos Removal Bags and also Asbestos Removal Mask. For further step, we will go through this eBook together.
Book Synopsis Mining North America by : John R. McNeill
Download or read book Mining North America written by John R. McNeill and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2017-07-03 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the past five hundred years, North Americans have increasingly turned to mining to produce many of their basic social and cultural objects. From cell phones to cars and roadways, metal pots to wall tile and even talcum powder, minerals products have become central to modern North American life. As this process has unfolded, mining has also indelibly shaped the natural world and North Americans' relationship with it. Mountains have been honeycombed, rivers poisoned, and forests leveled. The effects of these environmental transformations have fallen unevenly across North American societies. Mining North America examines these developments. Drawing on the work of scholars from Mexico, the United States, and Canada, this book explores how mining has shaped North America over the last half millennium. It covers an array of minerals and geographies while seeking to draw mining into the core debates that animate North American environmental history generally. Taken together, the authors' contributions make a powerful case for the centrality of mining in forging North American environments and societies"--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis Chrysotile Asbestos by : Dr. Maria Neira
Download or read book Chrysotile Asbestos written by Dr. Maria Neira and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2014 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Asbestos --- a group of minerals that includes chrysotile, crocidolite, amosite, anthophyllite, tremolite and actinolite --- is one of the most important occupational carcinogens. At least 107 000 people die each year from asbestos-related diseases, including lung cancer. Even though the use of asbestos has declined in many countries, chrysotile is still widely used, particularly in developing countries. This publication on chrysotile asbestos is divided into three parts. The first part reproduces a WHO short information document for decision-makers on the elimination of asbestos-related diseases. The second part addresses questions commonly raised in policy discussions, specifically to assist decision-makers. The third part is a technical summary of the health effects of chrysotile, which brings together and summarizes for the first time the most recent authoritative WHO evaluations performed by its International Agency for Research on Cancer and its International Programme on Chemical Safety. The technical summary also reviews results from key studies published after those evaluations and the conclusions drawn from WHO assessments of alternatives. The publication will be of interest to all government officials who need to make informed decisions about management of the health risks associated with exposure to chrysotile asbestos.""--Page 4 of cover.
Book Synopsis The asbestos lie. The past and present of an industrial catastrophe by : Maria Roselli, journalist
Download or read book The asbestos lie. The past and present of an industrial catastrophe written by Maria Roselli, journalist and published by ETUI. This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades asbestos was considered an ideal substance and therefore was called 'the mineral of the twentieth century'. Even though the fiber had already proven much earlier to cause various ailments, a real boom began in the 1950s and prospered everywhere in Europe. This book retraces the history of the Swiss asbestos cement company Eternit, investigating the strategy it developed – together with other asbestos industrialists – to prevent this carcinogen from being outlawed until, in 1999, an EU Directive was finally adopted to this end. The book also reviews the struggle of the asbestos workers and their families to gain official recognition of, and compensation for, the harm suffered.
