How Secondhand Asbestos Exposure Still Devastates Families in 2025

If you lived with someone who worked in a plant, power station, or steel mill—even as far back as the 1970s or 1980s—you could be at risk of a secondhand asbestos exposure illness.

Even now, decades after the last asbestos shipments arrived at Weirton Steel or the mills in Pittsburgh, the risk isn’t gone. Families are still feeling the effects—and not just those who worked there.

This type of exposure happens when microscopic asbestos fibers cling to clothing, hair, or lunchboxes—then make their way into homes through hugs, laundry, or shared living space.
