Asbestos in Utah
For decades, Utah buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many Utah residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.
The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so Utah workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of Utah asbestos exposure sites include:
- Utah factories
- Powerplants in Utah
- Refineries or Chemical Plants in Utah
Below is a list of 48 known sites of asbestos exposure in Utah. Asbestos exposure is known to have occurred in at least 13 Utah cities, though the number is likely even higher.
The Utah city with the most asbestos exposure sites was Salt Lake City, UT, with 31 known sites contaminated by asbestos.
