Asbestos Exposure Sites in Kentucky
Asbestos, the primary cause of Malignant Mesothelioma cancer, was used for decades in buildings and consumer products in Kentucky. Even a small amount of asbestos fibers, when ingested, can cause serious lung damage, including asbestosis, asbestos lung cancer, and malignant mesothelioma. Keep in mind that the symptoms of mesothelioma and asbestos-related diseases often take decades to appear in the asbestos victims, so exposure to asbestos in youth could lead to mesothelioma much later in life. Living or working close to these known asbestos exposure sites in Kentucky is a serious risk factor for developing malignant mesothelioma lung cancer and other asbestos-related diseases.
