An article by Lorraine Mallinder in the April-May 2011 issue of Canada's History. It tells how Gerrit Schepers, a South African intern at New York's Saranac Laboratory in 1949, found a hidden file labelled "Quebec Asbestos Workers" listing nine miners with lung cancer and two with mesothelioma. It says lawyer Ivan Sabourin carried the lung samples from Quebec. It also covers the 1949 asbestos strike and Schepers' clash with Johns Manville's Vandiver Brown, and has a sidebar, "Asbestos and its dangers."
