Asbestos victims share stories of substance's devastating impact in new book

VICTIMS of asbestos-related disease have shared their stories in a new book to highlight the devastating impact of the toxic substance.

The book Asbestos and Clydebank details the accounts of former shipbuilders and tradesmen who developed conditions after inhaling fibres at work while others – especially women – tell of how they had no idea how they were exposed to asbestos.

Developed by Clydebank Asbestos Group (CAG) and Digby Brown Solicitors, the two organisations hope the book will raise awareness to improve health and social care around the issue.
