Asbestos: The Human Cost of Corporate Greed by Laure
Kazan, director of the International Association to Ban Asbestos, was
published in Brussels in 2206. This 40 page pamphlet, including many photographs,
is dedicated to "all those throughout the world who have suffered
and died from asbestos-related diseases." This is an important summary
of the need to ban asbestos throughout the world and highlights attempts
by the asbestos industry and the Canadian government to continue the asbestos
nightmare. It begins with a quote from Remi Posse, former member of Parliament
from the Netherlands, who says, "Aside from gunpowder, asbestos is
the most scandalous substance people have had to work with. The dark forces
which profit from asbestos think little of using blackmail, deceit and
unscrupulous practices to protect the bottom line; they willingly sacrifice
workers' health for corporate profits." Copies can be obtained from
the WLA (POB 1483, Balt. MD. 21203) for $15.00. For further information
