A panel of scientists agreed that an EPA study in Montana is accurate in regards to the risks associated with even a small amount of asbestos exposure.
In the town of Libby, Montana, hundreds have already died of asbestos-related diseases caused by exposure to vermiculite from the mines of W.R. Grace and Company, a company best known for manufacturing Zonolite insulation. Many have described the environmental situation in Libby as the worst environmental disaster in the history of the United States.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been working on the asbestos problem in Libby since 1999. Ten years later, in 2009, EPA administrators issued a unique and urgent public health emergency declaration on Libby. Experts say it will take time for the declaration to be absolved, considering mesothelioma’s long latency period. It is likely that more people will be diagnosed with mesothelioma throughout the next few decades as a result.
