Asbestos in Mississippi
For decades, Mississippi buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many Mississippi residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.
The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so Mississippi workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of Mississippi asbestos exposure sites include:
- Mississippi factories
- Powerplants in Mississippi
- Refineries or Chemical Plants in Mississippi
Below is a list of 195 known sites of asbestos exposure in Mississippi. Asbestos exposure is known to have occurred in at least 69 Mississippi cities, though the number is likely even higher.
The Mississippi city with the most asbestos exposure sites was Jackson, MS, with 26 known sites contaminated by asbestos.
