SUMMARY OF MY ASBESTOS BLOGS TO DATE

   Uncategorized    April 7, 2022  |  0

Since I started blogging when I entered my Master’s in History program, I have blogged 64 times. As it is tough to track these blogs, below is a total listing with links.

I plan to continue this work as I focus my research on asbestos exposures to shipbreakers and then expand this work to ship builders and seafarers. Please continue on this journey with me, including making comments and providing your insights. The honor is mine to help educate and communicate.
