Environmental issue report No 22 of the European Environment Agency, published in 2001 and edited by a team chaired by Poul Harremoës. Fourteen case studies of hazards, from radiation and benzene to PCBs and 'mad cow disease', ask how early warnings were used or ignored, and the editors distil twelve 'late lessons'. Chapter 5, by David Gee and Morris Greenberg, traces asbestos from Lucy Deane's 1898 factory inspector's warning to the UK's 1998 decision to ban it and the WTO's upholding of the French and EU ban.
