remarkable achievement due largely to the industry's success in influencing medical discovery In the late 1920s the asbestos insulation market was expanding rapidly and the large producers were keen to ensure a reliable supply of fiber They were also keen to set prices to their advantage To that end they arranged an international cartel to exchange technical information coordinate the export of asbestos and engage in mutual assistance to secure fiber on the best terms As the rates of asbestosis among miners in South Africa and Quebec and factory workers in the UK and the U.S. began to rise the leading companies suppressed evidence of occupational disease Legal discovery As the result of litigation in the U.S. and the UK the industry's success in concealing the hazards of asbestos is now well documented Notable examples include the Saranac studies of 1940 which a showed clear associa- tion between asbestos and lung cancer and the South African state- and industry survey of asbestos and mesothelioma in 1962.45 In both instances the results of important research were withheld from public scrutiny The stories of Saranac and the South African survey which only reached the public domain because of litigation are almost certainly fragments ofa more reaching process that remains largely unreported The corruption of science from within is more subtle and potentially far more effective than the suppression of knowledge It is also more difficult to prove The asbestos industry has been almost as resilient as its products Despite the evidence about lung cancer 1940s and mesothelioma 1960 the production of asbestos products rose inexorably It is a chilling statistic that more than half the fiber consumed during the 20th century was consumed after 1975.

SAIAC - the association of asbestos cement industry companies - was set up the same year to exchange information on technology developments in the asbestos industry.
