Novamont, previously operating under the name Neal Chemical, maintained a chemical production facility in Huntington, West Virginia for decades. Unfortunately, this facility may have exposed workers—and even their family members—to toxic asbestos dust. If you or someone you love has developed mesothelioma or another asbestos-related illness after working at Novamont, you should consult a Novamont asbestos lawyer to explore your legal options.
🚧 Asbestos Use at Novamont and Neal Chemical
Like many chemical plants operating through the mid-20th century, Novamont used asbestos-containing insulation, pipe coverings, and gaskets throughout its Huntington facility. These materials were common in high-heat environments and around chemical processes. Workers who handled or worked near boilers, pumps, valves, and insulation may have inhaled asbestos fibers daily—often without protective gear or warnings.
🧰 Trades at Risk from Novamont Asbestos Exposure
Many different trades were at elevated risk of asbestos exposure at Novamont, including:
- Pipefitters
- Boilermakers
- Maintenance mechanics
- Electricians
- Millwrights
- Chemical process operators
- Insulators
Even office workers, janitors, and security staff may have experienced secondary exposure from airborne fibers on clothing or work surfaces.
🏠 Take-Home Asbestos Exposure Risks
In addition to plant workers, family members may have been unknowingly exposed through take-home asbestos—fibers carried home on a worker’s clothing, shoes, or tools. Many wives and children later developed mesothelioma simply by doing laundry or living in close contact with a contaminated worker. If you believe your loved one’s illness traces back to Novamont, you may have a claim for compensation.
