Veterans Asbestos Exposure: Machine Shops

Veteran’s that worked in Machine Shops are being diagnosed with Mesothelioma and other Asbestos-related diseases each year in the U. S. All branches of the U. S. Military used asbestos during the 20th Century with peak years being 1930-1980 because of it fire-retardant properties.

Due to the excessive use of asbestos by the U.S. armed forces veterans who were assigned to work in machine shops are thirty percent more likely to contract Mesothelioma cancer. Mechanics, welders, pipe fitters, and all motor pool staff who occupied these spaces were directly placed at increased risk and have retained a high level of exposure to harmful carcinogens.

Thousands of materials and commercial products utilized by the government were said to contain asbestos. Products such as military vehicles, brakes, textiles, cement buildings, fireproofing materials, and insulation all contained this dangerous product.

Asbestos has multitude of industrial and commercial uses and has been implemented by the U.S. Military for decades. Due to the flexible nature of Asbestos it has been utilized in just about every structural component of military service since the 1940’s.

Asbestos is resistant to chemical and thermal degradation is electrically non-conductive, and highly malleable. Recognized for its versatility and high tensile strength asbestos was widely valued by the U.S. Military up until it was declared a carcinogen the late 70’s.

Due to the excessive use of asbestos by the U.S. armed forces veterans who were assigned to work in radar stations are thirty percent more likely to contract Mesothelioma cancer. Electronic Technicians, Radiomen, Sonar men, and Quartermasters all have had significant exposure levels. These individuals were assigned to several locations within U.S. naval ships. Often times these interdepartmental spaces were enclosed to allow for less outside interference. Consequently the level of exposure retained by individuals working in these spaces has placed them at increased risk affecting their health and the health co-workers and colleagues.

Veterans Have the Right to sue Manufacturers that exposed them to Asbestos.
