There are many, many sources and places of exposure to asbestos. Here’s a list:
Materials Containing Asbestos
Most insulation materials before the mid-1970s contained asbestos. Many other construction materials also contained asbestos. Some of the most common products were:
* Insulation on pipes
* Boiler insulation
* Insulating cements, plasters, and joint compounds that came in powder form and created a lot of dust before being completely mixed with water.
* Fireproofing spray
* Firebrick and gunnite used for internal insulation of furnaces, boilers, and other vessels
* Roof, floor, and ceiling tiles.
* Transite siding
* Brakes and clutches
Trades
The following tradesmen could have worked around asbestos:
* Insulators (also known as asbestos workers) who actually installed insulation
* Boilermakers who constructed boilers which were often several stories high and filled with insulation
* Plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters who fitted and welded pipes together and often worked in small unventilated compartments in ships where large quantities of insulation were used
* Plasterers who worked with fireproofing spray on steel beams
* Shipyard workers and Navy personnel
* Electricians, mechanics
* Bricklayers; millwrights; carpenters; and other building trades workers
* Steel workers; refinery and other industrial workers;
* Maintenance workers; laborers; many others.
Sites
Industrial sites typically had the heaviest exposure. These include shipyards where ships were constructed or overhauled, power plants, refineries, paper mills, manufacturing plants, foundries, and construction sites. – norton g said this on October 8, 2009 at 3:44 am, http://kissthis.com
