Abstract
The problem of asbestos in the US public schools gives every indication of being one of the most pervasive issues in the area of toxic torts in the years to come. The health hazards caused by exposure to asbestos result in a host of wide-ranging environmental, political, and legal questions of every grade and order, many of which have not been finally determined. For the most part, the attention has been on asbestos as the cause of some occupational diseases and has specifically centered on the exposure of asbestos workers who inhaled the fibers. This article will outline another subject upon which increased focus may reasonably be expected: the significant health problems, the full impact of which will not be felt for years to come, caused by the presence of asbestos materials in American schools. 41 references.
