Asbestos Exposure in Kentucky

Construction workers, miners and railroad workers were at the highest risk for asbestos exposure in Kentucky. Asbestos-containing materials were used in building and insulation, and many workers on these projects are at a high risk of exposure, and therefore are at risk of developing lung cancer or mesothelioma.
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.
Provided below is a list of cities in the state of Kentucky where asbestos jobsites are known to have been located. If you worked for any of these companies or at these jobsites in Kentucky there is a possibility that you may have been exposed to harmful asbestos which is known to cause mesothelioma and lung cancer.
