Asbestos: Its Human Cost (1986)

A 1986 book by Jock McCulloch, published by University of Queensland Press, on asbestos in Australia. Chapters cover the industry, which it says James Hardie dominated; the medical history of asbestos disease; the crocidolite mine at Wittenoom, Western Australia, run by CSR subsidiary Australian Blue Asbestos, and the James Hardie mine at Baryulgil, New South Wales, with an almost entirely Aboriginal workforce, and the people of both; the politics of asbestos; and safety and profits. The author notes that James Hardie and CSR refused to discuss Baryulgil and Wittenoom.
