An Introduction to Asbestos and Mesothelioma

Asbestos is a deadly mineral that has been used in thousands of products. When microscopic asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested, they can cause a number of diseases, including mesothelioma and lung cancer. Of the diseases caused by asbestos, mesothelioma is the most aggressive, attacking the internal lining of the lungs and abdomen. Mesothelioma typically does not develop until decades after the asbestos exposure occurred.
A number of work sites throughout Massachusetts are linked to asbestos exposure including:
Boston
U.S. Naval Shipyard
Bethlehem Steel Shipyard
Gillette Safety Razor Plant
Edison Powerhouse
Boston Naval Shipyard fka Boston Navy Yard fka Charlestown Navy Yard
Freetown
Algonquin Gas Company Generating Plant
Peabody
A.C. Lawrence Factory
Eastman Gellatin
Quincy
General Dynamics Shipyard
Proctor & Gamble Plant
Bethlehem Steel Shipyard
Springfield
Monsanto Plant
Worchester

Many buildings and homes throughout Massachusetts carry a high risk of asbestos exposure, because they were constructed and modified long before builders started worrying about asbestos exposure. The state's larger population areas are centered on cities that are among the oldest in the country. These cities are filled homes, schools, government buildings, factories and businesses that are well over a hundred years old. Many of these buildings feature asbestos insulation throughout that poses a significant risk to their inhabitants.
