Ford Rouge asbestos exposure has been a significant source of mesothelioma and lung disease among workers and families in Dearborn, Michigan. The historic Ford Rouge Complex, once the largest integrated factory in the world, was built and maintained with asbestos-containing materials. That means many employees—especially those working in the boiler house, foundry, paint, and maintenance departments—were exposed to dangerous airborne fibers every day.
Ford Rouge Asbestos Exposure Risks
Automotive production lines used insulation, gaskets, sealants, and heat-resistant components that contained asbestos. Pipefitters, electricians, millwrights, welders, and even office staff were all potentially at risk—either directly or through contamination in shared areas.
Over time, repeated contact with these materials could lead to serious illness—often diagnosed decades later. Mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis are just some of the devastating conditions that result from Ford Rouge asbestos exposure.
