Sources of asbestos exposure in Florida

Experts have identified more than 40 Florida locations at which workers have been exposed to asbestos; a fibrous material that is known to causes serious human health problems including mesothelioma cancer. These locations are spread all over the state but are most concentrated in the southern part of Florida.

Power generating stations, shipbuilding facilities and other naval sites (including repair facilities), chemical companies, sugar plants, and even public buildings are potential sources of asbestos exposure in Florida. In fact, Miami Hotel, Miami-Mercy Hospital, Eustis Housing Project, and Jacksonville Grammar School are among those public areas that are known to present asbestos risks.

NASA & Asbestos Exposure

According to several NASA technical reports, asbestos was used in numerous applications during the agency’s halcyon days of space exploration. For example, asbestos blocks were used as soldering bases and asbestos composites were part of pressurized vessels used to contain the gases and fluids that propel the rocket. Due to these risks and other asbestos hazards, over 85 people in the Cape Canaveral area died due to asbestos cancer diseases, such as mesothelioma, between 1979 and 1999.

Florida Mesothelioma Treatment Centers

Asbestos continues to pose health threats to thousands of Florida residents. The damage caused by asbestos often does not show for years after exposure. Those who are concerned about the risks associated with asbestos exposure are encouraged to seek qualified medical help at a Florida mesothelioma treatment center, where leading specialists are training in diagnosing and treating asbestos-related diseases.
