Bad Dust

Book • 2025
Bad Dust traces the international history of the asbestos disaster — from mining operations in apartheid South Africa to the factories and shipyards of the UK – and tells the story of the activists and workers who took on a once indomitable industry.

Illegal for the past quarter century, much asbestos still remains in place today, slowly degrading and placing us all at risk.

Bad Dust reveals that the asbestos disaster has in fact only just begun, and that far from being a problem solved, the fight urgently needs to be taken up once again.
