Fossil fuels - the new 'asbestos'

Sound familiar? Asbestosis revisited! The cover-up continues to this day, at all levels.

A promotion of “no risk to health” even by state government bureaucrats seems consistent with a popular form of “denial” used by the advocates of asbestos and runs like: “We did not find the evidence for a causal association between an agent and its alleged effects.”

Alternative fuel use will continue to be driven by concerns over clean air and legislation to reduce toxic exhaust emissions.

Immense benefits in reduction in health costs can be achieved by a 50 per cent reduction of particle pollution as demonstrated in the Tokyo Case Study. The obstacles in the way to achieve such benefits, with cleaner fuels, continue to include a compromised political will coupled with unconscionable corporate conduct.
