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