Once nicknamed the “miracle mineral,” asbestos was an important commodity during the Industrial Revolution. Its fireproof, non-conductive, chemically inert, lightweight and insulating properties, combined with its high tensile strength, made it useful in the manufacture of products that would be used by everyone.
Asbestos ultimately found its way into insulation for homes and buildings, industrial adhesives, paint, gaskets, cement, textiles and even home appliances. It was liberally manufactured and used everywhere without reservation.
Asbestos Use Today
Today, the general public is aware that asbestos is a dangerous product that causes deadly cancers and painful lung scarring known as asbestosis. There is no known safe level of asbestos, and due to the ease with which its fibers can be released into the air, there is no safe way to manufacture and use products that contain asbestos.
As a result, asbestos is banned in more than 55 countries throughout the world, and most uses are banned in the United States. The United States closed its last asbestos mine in 2002, so all asbestos used in the United States is imported, primarily from Russia. The vast majority of these imports are for the chlor-alkali industry, where asbestos diaphragms are used to separate gases.
Some products are allowed to contain up to one percent asbestos without warning the public. These products include certain spray-on applications. Some gaskets and automotive parts for older cars also may contain asbestos. The EPA is pushing for a total ban.
Asbestos Companies Knew Asbestos Was Harmful
There is overwhelming evidence that asbestos companies knew asbestos was harmful and actively engaged in concealment activities in the interest of profitability. Not only were workers exposed, but the general public was exposed. These companies did not care that millions of people would die painful deaths because of their products. They only cared about their bottom line.
The Sumner Simpson Files
A New York Times archived report shows that asbestos industry executives knew by 1935 that asbestos was unsafe. Sumner Simpson, president and founder of Raybestos-Manhattan, later renamed Raymark Corporation, maintained a correspondence file from 1935 in his safe with records of discussions of how the industry would conceal the dangers of asbestos.
These records indicated that in 1936, asbestos companies began sponsoring their own research studies, and, according to the correspondence, agreed they would publish only those studies favorable to the industry.
When a report prepared for the Asbestos Textile Institute in 1947 revealed that the levels of asbestos exposure being permitted at that time were unsafe, it was disregarded. In 1957, the Asbestos Textile Institute voted down a cancer study on the grounds that it would “stir up a hornet’s nest and put the whole industry under suspicion.”
Dr. Merewether’s Research
Dr. Merewether was a factory inspector and a physician in Great Britain. In 1930, he published an important article revealing his observations that one out of four asbestos workers had developed asbestosis. He observed that no amount of asbestos dust was safe and that workers should wear respirators. His observations were consistent with what is known about asbestos today.
The British government took action in the 1930s to protect workers, but it would be many years before similar action would be taken in the United States. The EPA did not start restricting its use until 1975, and restrictions were imposed gradually. Even as late as 1989, when the EPA attempted to ban asbestos altogether, the industry fought hard against it, and the ban was lifted.
Can asbestos companies still be sued?
The effects of asbestos exposure were felt well beyond the manufacturing facilities. Construction workers, firefighters, military personnel, factory workers and even housewives and children of asbestos-exposed workers have felt its effects. All of these companies are liable, whether they were involved in asbestos mining, the manufacture of asbestos-containing products or the use of asbestos-containing products.
Most of these companies can still be sued. However, some of them have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. This protected these companies from lawsuits, but they were required to set up trust funds for the benefit of asbestos exposure victims as part of their Chapter 11 reorganization.
If you were exposed to asbestos through the fault of these companies, you can file a trust fund claim. Our attorneys can help you identify which trust fund claims you are eligible to file, and we can file those claims for you. You can view a list of these trust funds in our Mesothelioma Trust Funds article.
