If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma after working in a power facility, you may need an experienced WV Power Plant Mesothelioma lawyer to protect your rights. For decades, power stations across West Virginia used asbestos in turbines, boilers, steam lines, and insulation. This widespread use created a serious health hazard for generations of workers and their families.
Asbestos Exposure in West Virginia Power Plants
Asbestos was considered the “go-to” insulator for high-heat environments. In West Virginia, power plants in cities such as Parkersburg, Wheeling, Charleston, and Clarksburg relied on asbestos-containing materials to keep operations running.
Employees at these plants were frequently exposed while:
- Repairing or replacing asbestos-wrapped pipes and valves
- Maintaining boilers, turbines, and pumps
- Handling insulation and gaskets during routine maintenance
Even workers who did not directly handle asbestos—such as electricians or machinists—were often exposed through airborne dust in confined areas. Many unknowingly carried asbestos fibers home on their clothing, exposing their families to risk through secondary contact.
