This book was released on 1999-09-28 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 3, 1977, Howell Township, New Jersey closed its schools while scientists tested for dangerous levels of asbestos. After reports of unexplained ailments in some children, the parents of 4,500 elementary school children had threatened to boycott classes until the Board of Education removed asbestos-containing materials. Similar cases occurred across the country. In February, 1977, the New York Times reported that the child whose illness had been attributed to asbestos actually had mononucleosis. Was the reaction of parents and officials unwarranted? Did scientific evidence exist indicating that asbestos in schools caused children to become ill? Was all the relevant information - including the impact of their decisions on public policy in the future - considered? Environmental Public Health Policy for Asbestos in Schools addresses these questions by focusing on the development, institutionalization, and consequences of federal environmental policy for asbestos in schools. This unique and timely book explores the history of asbestos in schools and buildings and how this issue shaped the development of public health policy. Insight into past policy, including how, why, and who caused action to be taken, will enlighten and guide the scientific and regulatory communities in the future. The story of asbestos is a cautionary tale. Other toxic agents, such as lead, nitrogen dioxide and radon, could follow the same model as asbestos, raising similar questions. Written in a straightforward style, Environmental Public Health Policy for Asbestos in Schools explains technical concepts in language easily understood by non-experts. Understanding the factors and judgments involved in this issue gives insight into how the government - and society - perceives, assesses, and develops public health policy.

Book excerpt: Asbestos in the Schools opens with a brief overview of the history of asbestos, its use in industry and as a fire retardant, and the discovery of occupational hazards associated with asbestos dust airborne. A description of the key terms related to the topic follows. The authors can turn to the statistical analyses and legal matters and explain their implications to the problem of asbestos in the schools. The following chapter considers the class action suit against the asbestos industry, the legal aspects of asbestos removal, the exposure of school authorities to legal action, personal exposure of school board members, and the contractor's exposure. The authors assert that while the real risks to students and teachers from asbestos is minimal the legal risks to school administrators and trustees from their actions and/or inactions are real. The concluding chapters take the reader from step-by-step through the abatement process and review the financial costs associated with asbestos removal. The authors conclude with a commentary on several ethical questions raised by the issue of asbestos in schools.
