- catalog abstract ""This study explores the regulation of occupational health in the British asbestos industry from recognition in the late 1890s that asbestos dust might pose a health hazard until the establishment of the 1969 Asbestos Regulations. Whereas almost all of those who have written on this subject have attacked the entire asbestos industry and all its works, The Way from Dusty Death takes a more balanced view. It accepts the history of asbestos and health as in many ways a human tragedy, but it rejects simplistic, universalised arguments that this has been a tragedy with a cast only of villains, dupes and victims."--Jacket.".
