Veterans Exposed to Asbestos in Military Bases Near Dayton Ohio

At one point in history, all branches of the United States military heavily used asbestos in insulation, ceiling tiles, joint compounds, flooring materials and drywall used to construct military bases. All members of the military could have breathed in asbestos fibers when these fibers became airborne, but maintenance and construction workers were at a higher risk of breathing in these materials because they likely came in direct contact with the fibers. However, asbestos was also used in various components in military aircraft, vessels, and vehicles, including in brakes and clutches.

Near Dayton, Ohio is the Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Montgomery. This facility is known to have included asbestos. This large base spreads over two Ohio counties and is the largest military base operated by the Air Force in the United States. Its mission is to operate the local airfield and provide assistance to the 60 units that call the base home. Notably, the area was first used for small tests by Orville and Wilbur Wright. It played a critical role during World War II. Its operations began in 1918. The base is larger today due to other bases merging with it.
