Bad Dust

“In bringing asbestos out from behind the walls and ceilings where it lurks, and into the light, this highly original and disturbing book reveals an industrial disaster hiding in plain sight.”– Polly Smythe, Novara Media“Bad Dust provides a shocking exposé of the asbestos industry and its apologists; a stirring record of the activism supporting its victims; an urgent call to action to save future lives. A must-read.”– John Boughton, author of Municipal Dreams“An intricate, empathetic study, Tom White shows how the asbestos industry was created by the machinery of racial capitalism.”– Times Literary Supplement“An informative and highly readable exposure of the asbestos industry.”– Morning Star“If this meticulously researched book helps raise awareness and encourage more grassroots campaigning, the government might yet be forced to acknowledge the ongoing scale of the disaster and do something about it.”– Labour Hub“Bad Dust has earned its place on the bookshelf of anyone interested not only in the history of the asbestos tragedy but also in the unending struggle for a sustainable future, corporate accountability and environmental justice.”– Laurie Kazan-Allen, International Ban Asbestos Secretariat
