Working in an industrial facility has long been part of West Virginia’s economy, but many workers unknowingly faced exposure to asbestos. A diagnosis of WV Industrial Plant Mesothelioma often traces back to decades of asbestos use in chemical plants, steel mills, glass factories, and other industrial sites. Families across the state continue to deal with the devastating consequences of this preventable disease.
Asbestos in WV Industrial Plants
Throughout the 20th century, asbestos was widely used in insulation, machinery, and construction materials in West Virginia’s plants. Workers were regularly exposed while:
- Repairing boilers, turbines, and piping systems
- Handling insulation, gaskets, and refractory products
- Working near furnaces and high-heat equipment
Facilities in Charleston, Huntington, Wheeling, Fairmont, and along the Ohio River all relied on asbestos products. Many employees inhaled asbestos fibers daily, unaware of the danger. Tragically, some carried the dust home on their clothes, exposing their families to secondary asbestos risks.
