If you or a loved one worked at the DuPont plant in Washington, West Virginia, you may have been exposed to deadly asbestos fibers without even knowing it. For decades, this facility used asbestos in insulation, pipe coverings, pumps, and protective equipment. The danger didn’t stay inside the plant. DuPont Washington WV asbestos exposure extended beyond the gates and into workers’ homes, affecting spouses, children, and others.
Asbestos is a known carcinogen. It causes mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. Many former DuPont employees — and their family members — are only now being diagnosed, years after the initial exposure.
🏭 DuPont’s Use of Asbestos in Washington, WV
The DuPont Washington Works facility was a major employer in the Mid-Ohio Valley. It produced Teflon and other industrial chemicals, and at one time, used asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) to insulate pipes and equipment that operated at high temperatures.
Workers in maintenance, production, and boiler operations were particularly at risk. So were contractors, electricians, and insulators who performed shut-down work during outages. But perhaps the most overlooked risk came from take-home asbestos exposure — when fibers clung to clothing and were unknowingly brought home to loved ones.
👨👩👧👦 Family Members Were Also Exposed
DuPont Washington WV asbestos exposure didn’t end with the shift whistle. Many spouses recall shaking out dusty work clothes or doing laundry by hand. Children remember hugging their father as he walked through the door — unaware that the dust on his uniform could someday kill.
If you were diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos disease and someone in your home worked at the DuPont plant, you may be eligible to file a take-home exposure claim.
