WV Chemical Worker Cancer cases are rising across West Virginia because plant employees were exposed to asbestos insulation, gaskets, pumps, valves, reactors, heat exchangers, and protective materials for decades. Chemical plants in Charleston, Nitro, New Martinsville, Parkersburg, and the Kanawha Valley routinely used asbestos because it was cheap, fire-resistant, and durable—and workers paid the price.

How WV Chemical Worker Cancer Happens
Chemical plants created extreme heat, steam, and vibration. Asbestos was used in:
- reactors and pressure vessels
- chemical piping systems
- pumps, turbines, and compressors
- boilers and furnace equipment
- industrial insulation and heat blankets
- caustic production units and catalyst systems
During maintenance, repairs, and shutdowns, asbestos fibers became airborne—especially for:
- chemical operators
- maintenance workers
- pipefitters
- millwrights
- insulators
- mechanics
- utility workers
Even short-term exposure can cause terminal cancers decades later.
