For decades, Aliquippa Works asbestos exposure put thousands of steelworkers and their families at risk—often without their knowledge. Operated by Jones & Laughlin Steel and later LTV, the sprawling plant in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, was a cornerstone of American industry. But behind the smoke and steel was a hidden danger: widespread use of asbestos in equipment, insulation, and machinery. Today, many former employees and their loved ones are facing the devastating consequences, including mesothelioma and other asbestos-related illnesses.
The Truth About Asbestos at Aliquippa Works
Asbestos was used in countless areas of the Aliquippa plant, from insulation around furnaces and pipes to brake linings and protective clothing. Workers in the coke works, open hearth, blast furnace, and maintenance departments faced especially high risks of inhaling asbestos fibers during daily operations.
Over time, exposure to these fibers can lead to serious diseases—most notably mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer that often takes decades to develop. By the time symptoms appear, it’s often too late for treatment to reverse the damage.
Families Were at Risk to Aliquippa Works Asbestos Exposure, Too
Asbestos fibers weren’t just a danger inside the mill. Many workers unknowingly brought the dust home on their clothes, exposing spouses and children. This “take-home exposure” has led to numerous cases of mesothelioma in people who never set foot inside Aliquippa Works.
