Champion of French asbestos ban dies.

Henri Pezerat, famed French toxicologist, died unexpectedly on February 16, 2009. Pezerat was an early and vocal champion of the movement to ban asbestos. His efforts led France to ban asbestos. The French asbestos ban, in turn, laid the groundwork for the European Union's ban on asbestos.

Throughout his life, Pezerat strove to expose the asbestos industry's myth of "controlled" asbestos use. Pezerat's groundbreaking scientific articles uncovered the bias of asbestos-industry-linked "experts," and the asbestos industry's misuse of those studies in its fight against government attempts to ban asbestos.
