Um livro sobre a investigação dos efeitos pós-encerramento da exploração mineira de amianto na saúde ambiental e social após a reabilitação das lixeiras da mina de amianto em Penge, província do Limpopo, África do Sul. A utilização do amianto começou logo no século XIX, quando as fibras de amianto foram misturadas com cimento para formar o cimento de amianto. Na África do Sul, a produção de amianto começou em 1893. Em 1930, após vários anos de extração de amianto em todo o mundo, já havia fortes receios de que o amianto representasse riscos significativos para a saúde. No entanto, muitos países continuaram a extrair e a utilizar material de amianto, ignorando os seus impactos na saúde, incluindo a África do Sul, onde o amianto anfibólio foi extraído até 1992, enquanto as minas de amianto serpentino continuaram a operar depois de 1992. A extração de amianto amosite em Penge começou em 1914 e terminou em 1992. Entre 1920 e 1992, Penge foi a maior mina de amianto amosita do mundo.
