Asbestos in Arizona
For decades, Arizona buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many Arizona residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.
The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so Arizona workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of Arizona asbestos exposure sites include:
- Arizona factories
- Powerplants in Arizona
- Refineries or Chemical Plants in Arizona
Below is a list of 39 known sites of asbestos exposure in Arizona. Asbestos exposure is known to have occurred in at least 24 Arizona cities, though the number is likely even higher.
The Arizona city with the most asbestos exposure sites was Phoenix, AZ, with 11 known sites contaminated by asbestos.
