Asbestos Exposure West Virginia
Asbestos Exposure in West Virginia
Anyone who worked in power plants or mining industries in West Virginia is at risk for asbestos and mesothelioma due to the unregulated amount of asbestos used in materials and equipment. Asbestos-containing materials were used nearly anywhere that fire, electrical or chemical hazards existed. Laboratory countertops, electrical machinery in insulation, and even protective clothing contained asbestos prior to the early 1980s. This is especially an issue in West Virginia’s coal mines and energy power plants.
