Asbestos in South Carolina
For decades, South Carolina buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many South Carolina residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.
The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so South Carolina workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of South Carolina asbestos exposure sites include:
- South Carolina factories
- Powerplants in South Carolina
- Refineries or Chemical Plants in South Carolina
Below is a list of 113 known sites of asbestos exposure in South Carolina. Asbestos exposure is known to have occurred in at least 55 South Carolina cities, though the number is likely even higher.
The South Carolina city with the most asbestos exposure sites was Charleston, SC, with 12 known sites contaminated by asbestos.
