When workers drilling tunnels at Gauley Bridge, West Virginia, began to
die, Union Carbide had an answer.  It hadn=E2=80=99t been taking adequate
precautions against the inhalation of silica dust, a known danger to
workers since the days of ancient Greece.  Instead, in many cases, a
company doctor would simply tell the families of the workers that they
had died of =E2=80=9Ctunnelitis,=E2=80=9D and a local undertaker would be=
 paid $50 to
dispose of each corpse.  A few years later, in 1935, a congressional
subcommittee discovered that approximately 700 workers had perished
while drilling through Hawk=E2=80=99s Nest Mountain, many of them buried i=
n
unmarked graves at the side of the road just outside the tunnel.  The
subcommittee [3]concluded that Union Carbide=E2=80=99s project had been
accomplished through a =E2=80=9Cgrave and inhuman disregard of all
considerations for the health, lives and future of the employees."

Despite the =E2=80=9C[4]Hawk=E2=80=99s Nest Incident=E2=80=9D and thousan=
ds of Depression-era
lawsuits against foundries, mines, and construction companies,
silicosis never disappeared.  In the decades since, as [5]TomDispatch
authors David Rosner and Jerry Markowitz have repeatedly demonstrated,
industry worked tirelessly to label silicosis a =E2=80=9Cdisease of the pa=
st,=E2=80=9D
even while ensuring that it would continue to be a disease of the
present.  By the late 1990s, the Columbia University researchers
[6]found that from New York to California, from Texas all the way back
to West Virginia, millions of workers in foundries, shipyards, mines,
and oil refineries, among other industries, were endangered by silica
dust.

Today, there=E2=80=99s a new silicosis scare on the horizon and a new
eco-nightmare brewing in the far corners of rural America.  Like the
Hawk's Nest disaster it has flown under the radar -- until now.

Once upon a time, mining companies tore open hills or bored through or
chopped off mountain tops to get at vital resources inside.  They were
intent on creating quicker paths through nature=E2=80=99s obstacles, or (a=
s at
Gauley Bridge) diverting the flow of mighty rivers. Today, they=E2=80=99re
doing it merely to find the raw materials -- so-called frac sand -- to
use in an assault on land several states away.  Multinational
corporations are razing ancient hills of sandstone in the Midwest and
shipping that silica off to other pastoral settings around the United
States.  There, America=E2=80=99s prehistoric patrimony is being used to
[7]devastating effect to fracture shale deposits deep within the earth
-- they call it =E2=80=9Chydraulic fracturing=E2=80=9D -- and causing all=
 manner of
environmental havoc.  Not everyone, however, is keen on this =E2=80=9Csand
rush=E2=80=9D and coalitions of small-town farmers, environmentalists, and
public health advocates are now beginning to stand firm against the big
energy corporations running sand-mining operations in their
communities.
