	Asbestos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This aggressive disease is not properly referred to as a lung cancer, as the malignant cells are derived from the mesothelium, a tissue found on the inner walls of the chest and abdominal cavities and on the outer surface of the lungs rather than in the lung itself.
		As of 2004, asbestos cases result in about 600 to 700 appellate opinions per year (that is, including both federal and state courts); this number does not include other cases that were not appealed, or were settled or otherwise abandoned before trial.
		Asbestos liability is one of the largest issues facing the global insurance industry today, with the industry contending that many are suing because they have been exposed but have not as yet contracted asbestos-related lung diseases, which have latency periods of 10-40 years, and because lawyers spend millions each year advertising to promote such lawsuits.

	Mineralogical Record: RECENT DISCOVERIES at the JEFFREY MINE ASBESTOS, QUEBEC
		The Jeffrey mine in Asbestos, Quebec, Canada, is world-famous for beautiful crystals of orange, pink and green grossular; vesuvianite crystals of many colors, as well as violet manganoan vesuvianite; and well-terminated crystals of prehnite and pectolite.
		The Jeffrey mine in Asbestos, Quebec, Canada, is a huge chrysotile mine which began operating in 1879.
		Unfortunately, the market for asbestos has been in crisis for several years, and the Jeffrey mine's ore production has been greatly reduced; consequently, good mineral specimens are no longer being found in such quantities as they once were.

	The Asbestos Strike - Documents on the 1949 Asbestos Strike - Quebec History
		Over the years, Quebec's asbestos mines have spent a good deal of money on behalf of their 5,000 workers in order to eliminate asbestos dust from the mines by means of new machinery, flues, and ventilation equipment.
		In résumé, the asbestos industry had before the strike spent some $3,500,000.00 between 1944 and 1949 on asbestosis preventive measures alone, that is, an average of $700.00 per miner (4).
		These two strikes, asbestos and copper, bore no resemblance to two others: textiles and aluminium, (14) which were equally important and settled reasonably quickly since they were entirely legal.

	Canadian Asbestos: A Global Concern
		Comartin said, the asbestos industry maintains that more research is needed to prove the link between exposure to chrysotile and disease; the effect of chrysotile exposure on the Bendix workers was proof enough of the hazards of this carcinogen.
		Asbestos victims entitled to apply to the IAV are limited to mesothelioma patients with traceable employers/insurers whose exposure occurred within the thirty-year limitation period.
		Although Canadian asbestos stakeholders maintain that chrysotile can be used safely under "controlled conditions," Canada exports more than 95% of all the asbestos it produces; critics suggest that the Canadian principle of "controlled use" is a hypocritical ploy to profit from the export of a substance too hazardous to be used at home.
