Asbestos and Government Coverups

The health risks associated with asbestos exposure have been known since the turn of the 20th Century.
Dr H. Montague Murray of London, found asbestos fibers in a deceased 33 yr-old asbestos worker in 1900.
In 1917, Dr. Henry K.
Pancoast of the University of Pennsylvania medical school, found lung scarring in five asbestos-factory workers. Only one year later, an insurance statistician reported that due to the assumed health risks, insurers commonly denied coverage to asbestos...
There is an embarrassing number of documents that surfaced during the many court cases over the years. These prove the asbestos corporations were well aware of the dangers of asbestos and willfully withheld this information from their employees.
Scans of the following documents are available to be read on the Asbestos-Think Again website. Excerpts of these documents show: In a 1949 document, Exxon admitted that asbestos causes lung cancer, silicosis, fibrosis, and erythema.
In a 1958 National Gypsum Memo We know that you will never lose sight of the fact that perhaps the greatest hazard in your plant is with men handling asbestos. Because just as certain as death and taxes is the fact that if you inhale asbestos dust you get asbestosis. A 1969 Travelers Insurance Co.
memo states: confidentially Johns-Manville has been contaminating the hell out of both the air and the water for quite some time. In 1975, an insurance industry memo summarized non-workplace exposure.
Forty percent of homemakers and 50% of blue-collar workers had identifiable asbestos fibers in their lungs at death. The author states, It is now found (that) the public in general has been exposed to asbestos products to a far greater degree than previously recognized. There was no perceptible change in the outlook of companies until the landmark asbestos lawsuit filed in 1969, Borel vs Fibreboard Products Corporation, which was decided in favor of the plaintiff.
It was the first time the country recognized a companys duty to warn their employees about the dangers of asbestos. There were more than 16,000 asbestos/mesothelioma cases filed in the next 10 years.
