Asbestos in Hawaii

Because the geological forces responsible for forming Hawaii differ from those that formed the continental United States, the Hawaiian Islands are one of the rare places in the world that contains no naturally occurring asbestos.

While natural asbestos does not pose a threat to the citizens of Hawaii, there are commercial and military operations that have brought asbestos-containing products to our islands. These asbestos products, thousands of which have been used by the military and numerous Hawaii industries, pose a serious threat to human health. Asbestos exposure is known to cause serious health problems including the lung disease asbestosis and the rare but serious cancer mesothelioma.

Between 1979 and 1999, official sources claim that nearly 140 citizens of Hawaii died due to asbestos cancer diseases. Of these asbestos deaths, 79 were from mesothelioma cancer and 59were from asbestosis. People living in Hawaii continue to become ill and die from the deleterious effects of asbestos exposure.

Mesothelioma Treatment Centers

If you or a loved one has been exposed to asbestos on the job, perhaps working for Hawaii’s military bases, shipbuilding yards, oil refineries, or other industries, or in another environment, it is a good idea to get periodic health check-ups. Early detection of asbestos related diseases is essential. Mesothelioma treatment centers are the best places to seek examinations, diagnosis, and treatment of asbestos related diseases.
