Asbestos in Indiana
For decades, Indiana buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many Indiana residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.
The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so Indiana workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of Indiana asbestos exposure sites include:
- Indiana factories
- Powerplants in Indiana
- Refineries or Chemical Plants in Indiana
Below is a list of 85 known sites of asbestos exposure in Indiana. Asbestos exposure is known to have occurred in at least 39 Indiana cities, though the number is likely even higher.
