Asbestos Exposure in Chemical Plants Near Niagara Falls

As you can see from the list below, many of the locations in Niagara Falls where people could have been exposed to asbestos were chemical plants. With its ability to withstand heat, chemical reactions and fire, asbestos was an oft-desired material used in large-scale chemical manufacturing applications. Many facilities used asbestos in its construction materials, as well as to insulate machinery like pump and boilers that were used to control heat. Workers’ protective clothing also contained asbestos. Because there is not a mandate to remove this dangerous substance in existing buildings, many workers continue to be at risk of asbestos exposure, especially maintenance workers in chemical plants who may disturb the material and breathe in its deadly fibers.
