Asbestos Exposure in Florida

Power Plant Florida 300X 200

Florida has several asbestos sites all across the coast, especially in the southern region. A large percentage of these sites were power plants, chemical plants, and military bases. 

Asbestos use was very common before it was regulated in the 1970’s due to known health risks. Workers at these sites (listed below) are at greater risk of developing mesothelioma and lung cancer. Unfortunately, many of the families of workers 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.

Before the known health risks, asbestos was used as a heat retardant for many major industrial companies. NASA, for example, was known to have used asbestos for fireproofing purposes and in several of their space shuttles. Any asbestos containing materials used in construction of these space shuttles have potentially harmed the health of workers across the NASA base.

Statistics for Mesothelioma Cases in Florida

To this date, more than 2,400 mesothelioma and asbestos-related deaths and thousands of lung cancer diagnoses have been reported from Florida. That number ranks the state of Florida 2nd in the United States on deaths caused by mesothelioma.
