Asbestos in Ohio
For decades, Ohio buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many Ohio residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.
The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so Ohio workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of Ohio asbestos exposure sites include:
- Ohio factories
- Powerplants in Ohio
- Refineries or Chemical Plants in Ohio
Below is a list of 58 known sites of asbestos exposure in Ohio. Asbestos exposure is known to have occurred in at least 36 Ohio cities, though the number is likely even higher.
The Ohio city with the most asbestos exposure sites was Columbus, OH, with 6 known sites contaminated by asbestos.
