American Air Force Bases were constructed during a time when asbestos use was prevalent both as an insulating and fire-proofing material. A number of asbestos products including ceiling and floor tiles, wallboard, roofing and adhesives were used to build Air Force housing and other facilities. Even Air Force plane engines posed a threat as many of the gaskets and other materials used in them contained asbestos. This put the engine maintenance and repair crew, and others working in the vicinity, at high risk for asbestos exposure.
For your reference, we have provided a list of Air Force Bases by state below. Those who served at these Air Force Bases may have been exposed to hazardous asbestos. As a result, they could be at risk to develop mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease.
