Asbestos Exposure Maine

Asbestos Exposure in Maine

Shipbuilding is a tradition that dates back more than 400 years in Maine. Shipbuilding also ranks among the most dangerous industries in America for exposure to asbestos, a material which once was considered vital to the building of and operation of these ships.

Shipbuilding caused the biggest issue for asbestos risk in Maine, but anyone who worked in paper mills, power plants, or iron foundries many have been exposed. Unfortunately, many of the families of workers at the sites listed below) 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 Maine
