In fact, it is still legal and can still kill you. Its microscopic fibers cause painful and incurable diseases. \u003cbr\u003e Despite being outlawed in nearly every other industrialized country, asbestos remains a legal component of more than three thousand common products in the United States. These include toasters, washers\/dryers, ovens, building supplies, and automobile brakes. Our confusion about asbestos is no accident. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFatal Deception\u003c\/i\u003e is a chilling expos  of the asbestos industry's successful seventy-year campaign to hide the deadly effects of its products from the American people. The stakes are high -- tens of thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars. Michael Bowker rips the cover off the decades of deceit, including the treachery in Libby, Montana, site of the most deadly environmental disaster in U.S. history. He also unveils a startling and ongoing cover-up at Ground Zero -- where thousands of New Yorkers may still be suffering from exposure to dangerous levels of asbestos fibers. \u003cbr\u003e Compelling, enraging, and very timely, \u003ci\u003eFatal Deception\u003c\/i\u003e is not just a fascinating story, it is a plea to the government and to the American people to help sponsor research into asbestos-related diseases -- and a call to arms to ban asbestos now.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Bowker\u003c\/b\u003e is an investigative journalist specializing in telling the human stories behind today's health, science, and environmental issues.
