Not knowing the dangers of working in an asbestos rich environment, many industrial and construction workers were exposed to asbestos on a daily basis. With little to no protection from the minuscule asbestos particles suspended in the air, workers continually inhaled asbestos with the particles settling in their lungs.

Exposure to asbestos has caused health problems in many of the workers who were in these asbestos rich environments. Lung related issues including Asbestosis, Lung Cancer, Colon Cancer, Esophageal Cancer and Mesothelioma have been the predominant health issues diagnosed in many of these cases.
