NBC News recently interviewed Wisconsin Mesothelioma attorney Frank Pasternak on November 17, 2003 regarding W.R. Grace & Company Milwaukee area manufacturing and processing asbestos laced Zonolite. Attorney Pasternak's client, a former W.R. Grace employee, was also interviewed and discussed WTMJ Channel 4 about his asbestos-related disease and the process undertaken in Milwaukee for processing W.R. Grace's Zonolite.
W.R. Grace mined vermiculite in Libby, Montana, a small mining town where now coughing, breathlessness and suffocation are all too common. Since the 1960s and 1970s, W.R. Grace mined asbestos contaminate vermiculite, in Libby for Grace's Zonolite, product. For about 30 years, W.R. Grace covered up an ongoing tragedy hiding the known hazard of its vermiculite, Zonolite, asbestos and the related illnesses including asbestosis and mesothelioma. "Libby, Montana: Asbestos & the Deadly Silence of an American Corporation" and "An Air That Kills: How the Asbestos Poisoning of Libby, Montana, Uncovered a National Scandal" are two books setting forth the overwhelming evidence against W.R. Grace.
Tragically, Wisconsin and many states in the Midwest received W.R. Grace's asbestos products. Though the tragedy is more obvious in Libby where it's common to see oxygen tanks and hear coughs, around Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Chicago, Illinois, and other major cities, thousands of others are victims of W.R. Grace's cover up dying of asbestosis and mesothelioma.
In Milwaukee, vermiculite was used to make W.R. Grace's Zonolite insulation. Zonolite is a processed form of vermiculite, which insulates millions of homes throughout the United States.
