Interestingly- The McMaster Carr Supply Company is a privately held firm which has been sued successfully in court for asbestos related illnesses in several states.
Mesothelioma, or more precisely malignant mesothelioma, is a rare form of cancer that develops in the protective lining that covers many of the body's internal organs, the mesothelium. It is usually caused by exposure to asbestos. Its most common site is the pleura (outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall), but it may also occur in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity), the heart, the pericardium (a sac that surrounds the heart) or tunica vaginalis (serous covering of the testicles). (referenced from Wikipedia)
The McMaster Carr Supply Company of Chicago, Illinois may not want you to know that the harmful asbestos containing products offered in their catalog may have exposed people to serious health risks. As one of the largest industrial/commercial suppliers in the U.S., the McMaster Carr Supply Company sold these products for decades!
This book has several sections on asbestos.
Out-of-print, hard-to-find softcover book.
The book has minor wear, soiling and creasing from use. There are no locations of writing, underlining or highlighting of the text that I could find from a cursory review. Binding is square and is still intact. It's still a useful book with ample amounts of information regarding asbestos products in it!!
