The Environmental Protection Agency announced Wednesday that it will provide $6 million in funding to help residents of a small Montana town who were sickened by asbestos exposure. The announcement comes as part of the agency’s first-ever public health emergency and will cover the towns of Libby and Troy. The Department of Health and Human Services estimates that 50 new cases of asbestos-related illnesses are diagnosed in the two towns each year.  [The Washington Post].
