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