Asbestos in Alabama

For decades, Alabama buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many Alabama residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.

The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so Alabama workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of Alabama asbestos exposure sites include:

• Alabama factories
• Powerplants in Alabama
• Refineries or Chemical Plants in Alabama

Below is a list of 362 known sites of asbestos exposure in Alabama. Asbestos exposure is known to have occurred in at least 86 Alabama cities, though the number is likely even higher.

The Alabama city with the most asbestos exposure sites was Mobile, AL, with 76 known sites contaminated by asbestos.

If you know of another asbestos exposure site, please contact us so that we can update our records.
