Qualche citazione, per incoraggiare a leggerla tutta e a farla girare.<\/p>\n<p>L&#8217;avvocato Nelson<\/p>\n<p><em>had expressed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/2380175-asbestos-is-not-the-only-cause-of-mesothelioma.html\">frustration<\/a> with the argument that asbestos is the only known cause of mesothelioma. After scouring the scientific literature and applying his own logic, Nelson came up with a new culprit: tobacco.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Nel 2008 in una mail racconta la sua tesi sul mesotelioma causato dalla radioattivit\u00e0 del tabacco a un ex prof della<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"> Harvard School of Public Health,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><em>Valberg was by then\u00a0a principal at the environmental consulting firm Gradient Corporation, with offices in Harvard Square. &#8230;\u00a0<\/em><\/span><em>Valberg\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/2388360-lawyers-pitch.html#document\/p3\/a271602\">wrote back<\/a>\u00a0within hours, calling Nelson\u2019s scientific theory \u201cvery intriguing.\u201d He was game to try to disseminate it in peer-reviewed journals. He later sent Nelson a contract agreeing to write the first of three articles and even offered him a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/2425030-valberg-offers-to-do-work.html#document\/p2\/a271609\">10-percent discount<\/a>. In the meantime, Valberg would adopt Nelson\u2019s theory as an expert witness in lawsuits, using it against mesothelioma victims such as Pam Collins of Bellevue, Ohio.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Gradient appartiene all&#8217;IT Group, una societ\u00e0 che smaltisce rifiuti pericolosi, e i suoi &#8220;scienziati&#8221; soddisfano le esigenze dei clienti, tra i quali le due lobby pi\u00f9 influenti al Congresso dopo la National Rifle Association:<\/p>\n<p><em>the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanpetroleuminstitute.com\/\">American Petroleum Institute<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanchemistry.com\/\">American Chemistry Council<\/a>.
