I recently read an article discussing how the Environmental Protection Agency will now allow asbestos-containing products to be manufactured and sold in the United States on "a case-by-case" basis, apparently reversing parts of the organization's 1963 Clean Air Act and the 1989 Asbestos Ban and Phase-Out Rule. While that's good news for the mesothelioma attorneys you see every night on TV, it's bad news for American workers, a number of whom will soon be tasked with mining and processing the dangerous material once known as "the magic mineral" for its heat, electrical and chemical resistance.
