Chemical Plant Asbestos WV exposure has affected generations of workers across West Virginia. From the Kanawha Valley to the Ohio River corridor, chemical facilities frequently used asbestos for insulation, fireproofing, and chemical resistance. These materials were found in reactors, heat exchangers, valves, and piping—putting pipefitters, maintenance crews, and even administrative workers at risk.
Asbestos exposure at chemical plants was often unavoidable. Workers disturbed asbestos during routine maintenance, equipment upgrades, or emergency shutdowns. Cutting into pipe insulation, replacing gaskets, or cleaning chemical spills could release thousands of microscopic asbestos fibers into the air. Without proper protection or ventilation, employees unknowingly inhaled deadly particles day after day.
Diseases such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis often take decades to develop. Many former workers from Union Carbide, FMC, DuPont, and other West Virginia chemical plants are only now being diagnosed with asbestos-related illnesses.
