Kanawha River Asbestos Exposure – Glasgow WV Power Plant Risk

Kanawha River asbestos exposure affected generations of workers at the power station in Glasgow, WV. Known locally as Glasgow PS, the plant ran for decades using asbestos in pipes, pumps, turbines, and boilers. Today, former workers and family members are being diagnosed with mesothelioma and lung cancer—long after the plant shut down.

Workers often performed maintenance in high-heat environments where asbestos fibers became airborne, putting pipefitters, electricians, boilermakers, and other tradespeople at risk.

Power Plant Workers and Trades Exposed to Asbestos

The following trades were especially vulnerable to Kanawha River asbestos exposure:

• Pipefitters and boilermakers working around insulated valves and steam lines
• Millwrights maintaining rotating equipment near asbestos gaskets and packing
• Electricians exposed to asbestos-laden wire insulation and control panels
• Laborers performing clean-up in confined areas with degraded asbestos

Many of these workers brought asbestos home on their clothing, unintentionally exposing family members through take-home exposure.

Glasgow WV Families Still Affected by Kanawha River Asbestos Exposure

Although the Kanawha River Station closed in 2015, former workers and family members are still being diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. Asbestos diseases have a latency period of 20 to 50 years. That means an exposure in the 1970s may not lead to symptoms until today.

If you or a loved one worked at the Kanawha River Power Station—or lived with someone who did—you may be entitled to compensation through an asbestos bankruptcy trust or direct litigation.
