Traditional owners sue Western Australia government for $1.5bn to clean up toxic asbestos at Wittenoom Town in the state’s Pilbara region was the site of three blue asbestos mines and has been described as ‘the largest contaminated site in the southern hemisphere’

The $1.5 billion litigation claim by traditional owners may or may not be excessive but certainly they are owed a DAMN LOT OF MONEY for the "catastrophic contamination" of their land caused by the #Wittenoom #blueasbestos mines, and for the death and misery this "evil stuff" inflicted upon so many.

New data confirms childhood exposure to blue asbestos massively increases cancer risk later in life.

The smaller the lungs, the greater the damage.
