Asbestos in Nevada
For decades, Nevada buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many Nevada residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.
The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so Nevada workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of Nevada asbestos exposure sites include:
- Nevada factories
- Powerplants in Nevada
- Refineries or Chemical Plants in Nevada
Below is a list of 20 known sites of asbestos exposure in Nevada. Asbestos exposure is known to have occurred in at least 9 Nevada cities, though the number is likely even higher.
The Nevada city with the most asbestos exposure sites was Las Vegas, NV, with 11 known sites contaminated by asbestos.
