Asbestos in Missouri
For decades, Missouri buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many Missouri residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.
The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so Missouri workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of Missouri asbestos exposure sites include:
- Missouri factories
- Powerplants in Missouri
- Refineries or Chemical Plants in Missouri
Below is a list of 59 known sites of asbestos exposure in Missouri. Asbestos exposure is known to have occurred in at least 20 Missouri cities, though the number is likely even higher.
The Missouri city with the most asbestos exposure sites was St. Louis, MO, with 24 known sites contaminated by asbestos.
