Asbestos Exposure in California

California ranks number one in mesothelioma and lung cancer deaths in the United States due to exposure in many workplaces and different types of industries. Power plants, production facilities and military bases along the coast have greatly affected people and employees.
Naval bases, such as Hunters Point near San Francisco, used asbestos materials for shipbuilding and repairs. This puts veterans who worked at these sites (see list below) at greater risk of developing mesothelioma and lung cancer. Unfortunately, many of the families of workers at these sites also have an increased risk of developing cancer because of the asbestos fibers that were carried home on the body and clothing of those workers.
Provided below is a list of cities in the state of California where asbestos jobsites are known to have been located. If you worked for any of these companies or at these jobsites in California, there is a possibility that you may have been exposed to harmful asbestos which is known to cause mesothelioma and lung cancer.
