THE DUST

UNDER

THE CARPET

 

30 years after Italy introduced the law that banned the use of asbestos, it is estimated that 32 millions of tons of asbestos are still polluting the italian land and threatening the health of millions of its citizens. In regards to the human cost, it's well known that the worst is yet to come: experts have calculated that in 2030 asbestos victims will be around 30 thousands. In this ongoing project I'm focusing on the several human stories, spread all over Italy that  have suffered years of neglect by the institutions and still demand justice.
