Abstract

The authors analyze mechanisms of moral disengagement used to eliminate moral consequences by industries whose products or production practices are harmful to human health. The authors examined internal industry documents and public statements related to the research activities of these industries for modes of moral disengagement by the tobacco, lead, vinyl chloride (VC), and silicosis-producing industries, and discuss the kinds of moral disengagement that were used in these cases.
