Asbestos Exposure in Illinois

Power Plant

Illinois has a wide variety of industries that have used asbestos, such as manufacturing, power generation, petroleum, and chemical plants.

Illinois received at least 372,776 tons of asbestos-contaminated vermiculite from Libby, Montana. The locations with facilities that processed the asbestos-tainted vermiculite include Chicago, Girard, Peoria, Quincy, Buda and Calumet City.

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 Illinois

Illinois ranks 7th in the US for asbestos-related deaths. There have been 1,933 deaths from mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer between 1999 – 2013. Illinois is home to over 60 businesses that have been sued for asbestos exposure.
