Canadian chrysotile mines in Quebec, particularly Thetford Mines and the Jeffrey Mine, dominated world chrysotile production.

	The corporate knowledge and deliberate concealment makes the mining tragedy particularly egregious. Despite mounting scientific evidence dating to the 1890s, companies like W.R. Grace maintained a "hush hush policy" concealing dangers through 1990. Internal documents revealed in litigation showed company officials explicitly acknowledging deaths among workers while refusing to implement warnings or protective measures. This systematic suppression of known dangers provides compelling evidence for substantial legal claims.

	Treatment options depend on disease stage, patient health, and specific fiber type involved. Options include surgery for eligible patients, chemotherapy combinations, immunotherapy treatments showing promising results, and clinical trials offering access to experimental approaches. The aggressive nature of mesothelioma from amphibole exposure (the fiber type at Libby and many mining operations) may affect treatment response compared to chrysotile-caused disease.
