Where Asbestos Exposure Injury Law
I can’t figure out how or where I was exposed to asbestos. What are some possibilities?
The most common asbestos exposures happened in the workplace. Many trades, including construction, shipbuilding, working with boilers, working at power plants, and working with railroad engines, involved asbestos exposure. However, many exposures to asbestos occurred at home, not at work. Clothes laundered from work in an asbestos-containing environment, or building materials like asbestos-containing “popcorn” acoustic ceiling spray, have caused exposures that decades later result in asbestos disease. Sometimes a location such as a school or office building can cause an exposure from demolition or damage to old steam pipes or insulation.
It was not until the 1970’s that the government finally recognized the danger of asbestos exposure and began regulating and restricting its use. Before that time, asbestos was commonly used as an insulator and in other building materials, in small appliances including hair dryers, in talc products such as baby powder, and even in some potting soils. It is estimated that over 5000 consumer products existed that contained asbestos, making it very likely that your exposure was as a result of everyday living. Many of these products may still be in use, continuing the danger of exposure.
