Asbestos in Montana
For decades, Montana buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many Montana residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.
The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so Montana workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of Montana asbestos exposure sites include:
- Montana factories
- Powerplants in Montana
- Refineries or Chemical Plants in Montana
