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

- Refineries or Chemical Plants in South Carolina
