Asbestos in Wisconsin
For decades, Wisconsin buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many Wisconsin residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.
The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so Wisconsin workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of Wisconsin asbestos exposure sites include:
- Wisconsin factories
- Powerplants in Wisconsin
- Refineries or Chemical Plants in Wisconsin
Below is a list of 41 known sites of asbestos exposure in Wisconsin. Asbestos exposure is known to have occurred in at least 23 Wisconsin cities, though the number is likely even higher.
The Wisconsin city with the most asbestos exposure sites was Milwaukee, WI, with 12 known sites contaminated by asbestos.
