Why Was Boiler Work So Dangerous?
Boilers contained and were surrounded by asbestos materials to handle extreme heat. The repair process often involved:

- Tearing out pipe insulation
- Patching firebrick or cement
These tasks created toxic dust clouds. Without adequate protection, repair workers breathed in microscopic fibers that lodged in the lungs, sometimes leading to fatal diseases.
