Kansas Asbestos Exposure Sites

Asbestos in Kansas

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

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

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

Below is a list of 87 known sites of asbestos exposure in Kansas. Asbestos exposure is known to have occurred in at least 36 Kansas cities, though the number is likely even higher.

The Kansas city with the most asbestos exposure sites was Wichita, KS, with 24 known sites contaminated by asbestos.
