Silent Killers: Mold, Blood Clots, Carbon Monoxide, and Asbestos

Slipping beneath the radar of everyday awareness are things that can sicken the unsuspecting—and even kill. This 48 Hours report uses compelling personal accounts from anti-pollution activist Erin Brockovich, crusading attorney Jan Schlichtmann, and others to raise viewers’ awareness about four of them: infestations of the toxic mold Stachybotrys in the home; deadly blood clots believed to be caused by lengthy airplane flights; lethal carbon monoxide concentrations resulting from a problematic houseboat design; and the dangerous presence of tremolite asbestos in vermiculite building insulation. Produced by CBS NEWS. (44 minutes)
