Asbestos and Massachusetts

Massachusetts has seen virtually unfettered use of asbestos in a wide array of industrial, commercial, and other applications. In fact, over 400 different Massachusetts industries and institutions have or are currently using asbestos containing products, including foundries, power plants, shipyards, schools, banks, libraries, retirement homes, and even hospitals. Old buildings, of which Massachusetts has many, were typically constructed using asbestos laden materials, including siding, wallboard, roofing, and insulation.

Get Asbestosis Treatment

According to official records, 760 people in Massachusetts died from asbestosis between 1979 and 1999. Asbestosis is a non-cancerous disease in which the lung tissues become severely scarred from asbestos inhalation. Ironically, the man who invented and became rich off asbestos roofing, Henry Johns, dies in the 1800s because of asbestosis. Asbestosis isn’t always fatal, but early diagnosis is crucial to reducing the risk of mortality.

In addition to asbestosis deaths, Massachusetts saw 613 people die from mesothelioma cancer in that same 20-year span. Mesothelioma is a rare but aggressive and difficult to treat form of cancer. Mesothelioma cancer can attack the tissues of the lungs, the abdominal organs, or the heart. This cancer, asbestosis, and other asbestos related diseases can take years or even decades to produce symptoms following asbestos exposure.
