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