Connecticut Asbestos Exposure

While Connecticut is one of the smaller states in the U.S., there are a number of jobsite locations where asbestos exposure may have occurred. In fact, numbers indicate that there may be as many as 600 locations within the boundaries of the state of Connecticut where workers could have been exposed to asbestos while on the job. The majority of asbestos jobsites are industrial in nature but asbestos exposure was also possible at Connecticut schools, military buildings, submarine bases and smaller factories.
Asbestos was used in home and industrial construction materials, piping, insulations, and even industrial cloth. Asbestos is extremely fire-retardant and was a popular fire-proofing material used in Connecticut and across the United States in general.
