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