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