Asbestos chapter of the Bureau of Mines Minerals Yearbook for 1970, by Robert A. Clifton, a chemist in the Division of Nonmetallic Minerals. It reports US production (about 125,000 short tons, from mines in California, Vermont, Arizona and North Carolina, listed by company and mine), imports, consumption by end use (asbestos-cement products took an estimated 70 percent of world output), prices, government stockpile sales and world production by country. It also notes that the Clean Air Act of 1970 named asbestos as a hazardous air pollutant. The file is the yearbook title page followed by the full chapter.
