A 1972 book by Paul Brodeur, published by Ballantine Books with an introduction by Rene Dubos, collecting three New Yorker pieces. "The Magic Mineral" (1968) traces the history of asbestos disease and Irving J. Selikoff's studies of insulation workers. "The Enigmatic Enzyme" (1971) covers enzyme laundry detergents. A 1971 "Postscript" reports New York City's ban on spraying asbestos fireproofing after February 23, 1972, and says four hundred and twenty-five of six hundred and thirty-two insulation workers had died as of June 30, 1971.
