Asbestos Exposure in Mississippi
Much like many southern states, Mississippi is known for its oil refineries, power generators, and shipbuilding manufacturers. Petroleum is a highly volatile substance, even in crude form.
For this reason, asbestos insulation was used throughout oil refining facilities in structures, on machinery, and in pipefittings. Even the protective clothing worn by oil workers was lined with asbestos.
Unfortunately, many of the families of workers at the sites 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.
Shipbuilding and Repair: Mississippi has a long history of shipbuilding, particularly along the Gulf Coast. Asbestos was used extensively in ship insulation and other materials, which exposed workers to its harmful fibers.
Oil Refineries and Chemical Plants: The state’s oil and chemical industries heavily relied on asbestos for its heat-resistant properties in pipes, equipment, and insulation. Workers in these facilities often faced prolonged exposure.
Construction and Renovation: Asbestos was commonly used in construction materials like roofing, siding, cement, floor tiles, and insulation. In Mississippi, workers involved in construction or renovation of older buildings are at risk of disturbing asbestos-containing materials.
Power Plants: Power plants in Mississippi used asbestos to insulate machinery, boilers, and electrical wiring. Workers in these plants, especially before regulations limited asbestos use, may have been exposed.
Military Bases: Mississippi is home to several military bases where asbestos was used in barracks, ships, and other infrastructure, exposing military personnel and maintenance workers.
Natural Deposits: Though less common, there are natural deposits of asbestos in certain parts of the U.S. Disturbing these areas during construction or mining could lead to exposure.
