Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma in the Textile Industry in New Hampshire

One of the most prominent industries in New Hampshire is the textile industry, which are located across the state and nearby residents of Dover, New Hampshire. Asbestos was once used to insulate the machinery that helped to weave fabric. Additionally, many textile mills across the state wove protective garments that contained asbestos in them. Asbestos is resistant to fire, heat and chemicals, so many protective garments such as gloves, racecar gear, oven mitts and firefighter suits contained asbestos. Some New Hampshire textile mill workers spun asbestos threads into fabric while others operated machinery that was insulated by this dangerous product. These workers could have breathed in or ingested airborne asbestos fibers when performing their basic job duties. Additionally, like many other structures at the time, textile mills were often built with asbestos-containing materials, including drywall, ceiling tile, joint compounds and flooring tiles, providing another possible source for exposure Once these mills were abandoned, they left behind thousands of tons of these dangerous substances, which members in the community or curious children may have breathed in.
