"The Tripode building in Nantes, France, which housed government offices, was destroyed in 2005. It contained 350 tonnes of asbestos. Trade union delegate Francis Judas, who was instrumental in the fight to secure recognition of the occupational illnesses of employees caused by exposure to asbestos in the building, tells HesaMag the story of the Tripode and explains why exposure throughout the working day to 10,000 fibres per cubic metre is equivalent to a death threat for workers."
