Asbestos Exposure in Illinois
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.
Steel Mills: Illinois has been home to several large steel mills, particularly in areas like Chicago and Granite City. Asbestos was commonly used in these facilities for insulation and fireproofing, exposing workers to the fibers.
Oil Refineries: Illinois is a major hub for oil refining, with several refineries located in the state. Asbestos was often used in the machinery and equipment due to its heat-resistant properties, leading to potential exposure for refinery workers.
Power Plants: Power generation facilities, especially older ones, used asbestos for insulation and to prevent fires. Workers in power plants may have been exposed to asbestos when maintaining or repairing equipment.
Buildings and Homes: Asbestos was widely used in construction materials, including insulation, roofing shingles, floor tiles, and cement. Buildings constructed before the 1980s in Illinois, particularly in cities like Chicago, often contain asbestos. Renovation or demolition of these buildings can release asbestos fibers into the air.
Schools and Public Buildings: Many older schools, hospitals, and government buildings in Illinois contain asbestos materials. Maintenance or renovation work in these buildings can pose a risk of exposure to workers and occupants.
Train Manufacturing and Repair Facilities: Illinois has been a key state in the railroad industry, with numerous train manufacturing and repair facilities. Asbestos was commonly used in brake pads, insulation, and other components of trains, exposing workers in these facilities.
Vermiculite Processing Plants: Although Illinois itself does not have significant asbestos mining, vermiculite ore contaminated with asbestos was processed in some facilities. Workers in these plants, particularly in the Chicago area, were at risk of exposure.
Brake and Clutch Repair: Asbestos was commonly used in brake pads, clutches, and gaskets. Mechanics working in automotive repair shops in Illinois may have been exposed to asbestos when working on older vehicles.
Naval Station Great Lakes: This military installation, like many others, used asbestos in its buildings and ships. Veterans and military personnel stationed here may have been exposed to asbestos.
Home Renovations: In Illinois, particularly in older homes, DIY home renovations can disturb asbestos-containing materials like insulation, tiles, and pipe wraps, leading to potential exposure for homeowners and contractors.
Geological Sources: While not as prevalent as in other states, there are small natural deposits of asbestos in Illinois that could pose a risk if disturbed, though this is less common compared to industrial sources.
It’s far more important to contact an attorney with a strong history of experience specifically in asbestos cases, than it is to select one who happens to be in your area of Alabama. The most successful attorneys in your area may have never handled an asbestos case.
SWMW attorneys dedicate the overwhelming majority of their time and effort prosecuting mesothelioma claims, so we know which states and jurisdictions are going to provide the best outcome for your case and can get your case settled faster.
