The cancer factory : industrial chemicals, corporate deception, and the hidden deaths of American workers / Jim Morris. by Morris, Jim (Journalist) Beacon Press, 2024. Call #: 658.382 M876c Subjects Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company.   Industrial hygiene -- United States.   Industrial safety -- United States.   Industrial hygiene -- Law and legislation -- United States.   Industrial safety -- Law and legislation -- United States. ISBN:  9780807059142 (hc.) Description:  256 p. ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 226-241) and index. Summary:  "'The Cancer Factory' tells the story of the workers who experienced one of the nation's worst, and best-documented, outbreaks of work-related cancer, and the lawyer who has represented the bladder-cancer victims at the plant for more than 30 years. Goodyear, and its chemical supplier, DuPont, knew that two of the chemicals used in the plant had been shown to cause cancer, but made little effort to protect the plant's workers until the cluster of cancer cases -- and deaths -- was undeniable. In doing so it tells a broader story of corporate malfeasance and governmental neglect. Workers have only weak protections from exposure to toxic substances in America, and regulatory breaches contribute to an estimated 95,000 deaths from occupational illness each year. Based on 4 decades of reporting and delving deeply into the scientific literature about toxic substances and health risks, the arcana of worker regulations, and reality of loose enforcement, 'The Cancer Factory' exposes the terrible health risks too many workers face."--From publisher. Jim Morris is managing editor for environment and workers’ rights at the Center for Public Integrity. A journalist since 1978, Morris has won more than 80 awards for his work, including the George Polk Award, the Sidney Hillman Award, 3 National Association of Science Writers Awards, and 2 Edward R. Murrow Awards. Morris’s 2014 series “Big Oil, Bad Air,” a collaboration with InsideClimate News and The Weather Channel garnered 10 national awards for its revelations about toxic air emissions from hydraulic fracturing. He helped edit the Center’s first Pulitzer Prize–winning project, “Breathless and Burdened,” a 2013 investigation into the deeply flawed federal black-lung benefits system for coal miners.
