Asbestos in Georgia
For decades, Georgia buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many Georgia residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.
The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so Georgia workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of Georgia asbestos exposure sites include:
- Georgia factories
- Powerplants in Georgia
- Refineries or Chemical Plants in Georgia
Below is a list of 182 known sites of asbestos exposure in Georgia. Asbestos exposure is known to have occurred in at least 66 Georgia cities, though the number is likely even higher.
The Georgia city with the most asbestos exposure sites was Atlanta, GA, with 42 known sites contaminated by asbestos.
