Libby, Montana: An Asbestos Legacy

Processed vermiculite from the WR Grace Libby MT Mine contained tremolite, a form of asbestos, that found it's way into local homes and has caused hundreds of cases of asbestos relelated disease in this small mountain town. EPA instituted a decontamination program for the town and the contaminated residences. Currently, studies are ongoing to determine where the Libby vermiculite was shipped to and sold across the US.
