In the latest in our series on the health risks arising from Asbestos, we look at the scientific endeavours which have warped the truth, and excluded public debate. We use important research from Asbestos Awareness Australia.

Given that around 4,000 people in Australia die each year from exposure to Asbestos, and of that more than 800 die from the severe disease of mesothelioma, its time for fresh thinking and more specific alerts to the community, especially those undertaking DIY renovations. At least a third of all property across Australia contains highly dangerous Asbestos. Yet science is mute. And in the third wave ever more women are being impacted.
“[N]ot only was the medical profession’s reaction to the asbestos hazard often feeble, but scientists have also been among the industry’s most strident defenders. There are two reasons why that was so: corporate suppression and intimidation meant that criticism of the industry came at a price … and the convergence of the economic, political and social interests of the scientific establishment and commerce. “
