Authors Berg, R

Page Numbers 31-39
Abstract Berg examines the intersection of science and politics in the case of one such issue--naturally occurring asbestos. This story is of an ongoing environmental health dilemma involving disputes over risk, testing methods, remediation, costs, and impact on commercial interests. But it is also the story of how these conflicts altered the life path of one environmental health professional.
