Asbestos Exposure in Power Plants
Power Plant workers are still being diagnosed with Mesothelioma and asbestosis more than 30 years after the asbestos warnings were issued.
Power Plant workers across the Unites States were exposed to asbestos with little or no protection from asbestos particles in the air and often worked in poorly ventilated areas.
The Power Plant industry was filled with asbestos laden products between 1930 and 1970. Six thousand asbestos companies have been named in lawsuits over the last 40 years.
Power plants have been supplying power to U.S. homes for more than a century.
Power plants commonly used asbestos in their equipment and machinery because of its insulating properties. Boilers, turbines, and generators are example of this asbestos laced machinery.
Any Power Plant built in the United States before 1980 is likely to have been constructed using large amounts of asbestos.
Mesothelioma is much more prevalent among shipyard workers and boilermakers than among the general population, because of the higher asbestos exposure in these jobs.
