Asbestos Exposure in California

Rancho Seco Power Plant California 300X 243

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.

Statistics for Mesothelioma Cases in California

To this date, more than 4,700 mesothelioma and asbestos-related deaths and thousands of lung cancer diagnoses have been reported from California. That number ranks the state of California 1st in the United States for deaths caused by mesothelioma.
