Asbestos in Arkansas
For decades, Arkansas buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many Arkansas residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.
The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so Arkansas workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of Arkansas asbestos exposure sites include:
- Arkansas factories
- Powerplants in Arkansas
- Refineries or Chemical Plants in Arkansas
Below is a list of 84 known sites of asbestos exposure in Arkansas. Asbestos exposure is known to have occurred in at least 41 Arkansas cities, though the number is likely even higher.
The Arkansas city with the most asbestos exposure sites was Little Rock, AR, with 12 known sites contaminated by asbestos.
