Illinois Asbestos Exposure Sites

Asbestos in Illinois

For decades, Illinois buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many Illinois residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.

The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so Illinois workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of Illinois asbestos exposure sites include:

  • Illinois factories
  • Powerplants in Illinois
  • Refineries or Chemical Plants in Illinois

Below is a list of 258 known sites of asbestos exposure in Illinois. Asbestos exposure is known to have occurred in at least 106 Illinois cities, though the number is likely even higher.

The Illinois city with the most asbestos exposure sites was Chicago, IL, with 59 known sites contaminated by asbestos.
