Libby - The Worst is Yet to Come
A report in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine predicts that, in the next 10 to 20 years, Libby in Montana will experience a mesothelioma epidemic.
Dr. Alan Whitehouse, a pulmonologist on the front line of asbestos disease treatment in Libby, wrote the report with input from four other doctors, including Dr. Brad Black of the Center for Asbestos Related Disease, or CARD Clinic, in Libby. More than 200 asbestos deaths have been confirmed in Libby, and the CARD clinic is following about 2,000 additional asbestos cases.
