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