Despite 3,000-Year History, Asbestos Dangers Were Ignored

Ancient observations of the health risks of asbestos were either forgotten or ignored until the turn of the 20th century.

The first documented case of asbestos-related ailments occurred in 1897, when a Viennese physician attributed emaciation and pulmonary problems to asbestos dust inhalation.

The first documented case of an asbestos-related death was reported in 1906 when the autopsy of an asbestos worker revealed lung fibrosis.
