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 Industry: Maine's long-standing shipbuilding industry, particularly in locations like Bath and Kittery, used asbestos extensively in ship insulation, fireproofing, and other shipbuilding materials. Workers in these shipyards were often exposed to asbestos fibers.
Paper Mills: Maine's paper mills, once a dominant industry, often used asbestos in machinery and equipment. Workers in these environments were at risk from the asbestos fibers present in factory equipment, boilers, and insulation materials.
Construction Industry: Asbestos was used in a variety of construction materials, including insulation, roofing, and flooring. Construction workers, as well as those involved in building renovation or demolition, were frequently exposed to asbestos.
Industrial Plants: Industrial plants, such as power plants, chemical plants, and manufacturing facilities in Maine, often relied on asbestos for its heat resistance and durability. This put plant workers at risk of exposure over time.
Military Service: Veterans in Maine, particularly those who served in the Navy, faced asbestos exposure, as the military widely used asbestos in ships and buildings for insulation and fireproofing.
