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