Asbestos exposure remains a significant cause of serious illness and preventable death among Pennsylvania workers. Delaware County is home to numerous facilities, aging buildings, and industrial sites where asbestos materials were commonly used for decades. Individuals who have worked in construction, manufacturing, shipyards, or building maintenance are at a high risk for developing diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos-induced lung cancer, and chronic respiratory problems.
Understanding Asbestos-Related Dangers
Asbestos fibers are invisible to the naked eye and can linger in the air during renovations, repairs, or demolition projects. Once inhaled, these sharp particles embed in lung tissue, often leading to debilitating conditions years after the initial exposure. The medical costs and emotional toll of these conditions can be staggering.
Industries and Occupations at Risk
Workers in older factories, public buildings, schools, and infrastructure projects may have spent years exposed to asbestos. The danger is not isolated to direct handlers; secondhand exposure affects families and loved ones, posing risks to children when asbestos-carrying work clothes come home. Knowing your risk is the first step in seeking justice.
