When the Dust Came Home: Weirton Steel

For decades, men and women clocked in at Weirton Steel and did what they thought was honest work. They carried steel, not lawsuits. They handled heat, not headlines. What no one told them—what no one warned them—was that they were also carrying something home.

Asbestos.

It was baked into the insulation, packed around the pipes, sprayed inside walls, layered over furnaces. The dust got everywhere. It stuck to clothes, hair, boots. And every night, it came home—to wives doing laundry, to kids climbing into their parents’ laps, to families just trying to live.

That’s what we now call Weirton Steel take-home asbestos exposure.
And it happened in Weirton, West Virginia—over and over again.
