Asbestos Containing Products at Power PlantsFor many years, power plants used asbestos in a variety of ways. As a result, many power plant workers were exposed to asbestos on a daily basis. Subsequently, their loved ones were also exposed when they unknowingly carried asbestos fibers home on their clothing. Some of the most common ways in which asbestos is utilized in power plants include:
- In boilers
- In gaskets
- As floor, ceiling, and wall panels
- As pipe covering
Asbestos use was particularly common at electricity generating plants as well as power distribution centers. Workers at these locations are at an elevated risk of being diagnosed with mesothelioma as well as other asbestos-related conditions. It is important to understand that asbestos is most dangerous when workers are repairing or moving objects that contain the substance. Once asbestos is disturbed, its small fibers can end up in the air where they are then inhaled, causing several types of deadly diseases.
