Denis Brown was part of a generation of carpenters who worked around large amounts of asbestos dust. Decades later, and thousands of carpenters like Denis have died from asbestos diseases.

Our story: confrontpower.org/how-asbestos... feat @londonasbestos.bsky.social
How asbestos killed thousands of British carpenters | Confront Power
Carpenters working in the 1950s to 1970s, like Denis Brown, were largely left unprotected from asbestos exposure. Thousands of deaths followed.
