Asbestos in Michigan
For decades, Michigan buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many Michigan residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.
The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so Michigan workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of Michigan asbestos exposure sites include:
- Michigan factories
- Powerplants in Michigan
- Refineries or Chemical Plants in Michigan
Below is a list of 175 known sites of asbestos exposure in Michigan. Asbestos exposure is known to have occurred in at least 68 Michigan cities, though the number is likely even higher.
The Michigan city with the most asbestos exposure sites was Detroit, MI, with 47 known sites contaminated by asbestos.
