Asbestos in Arizona
For decades, Arizona buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many Arizona residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.
The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so Arizona workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of Arizona asbestos exposure sites include:
- Arizona factories
- Powerplants in Arizona
- Refineries or Chemical Plants in Arizona
