Midwest City Oklahoma Veterans Exposed to Asbestos
Tinker Air Force Base is located near Midwest City, Oklahoma. It was established in 1941. The base was used to produce C 47 Skytrains during World War II. It has also served a significant role in providing precise information about the weather, forecasting the first tornado in history. The Automated Weather Network used the base to assist United States troops all over the world. In 1992, a wing was added for the United States Navy. Nearly 7,500 people work at the Tinker Air Force Base. Housing units are included, but a significant portion of them require improvements.
Because the base was constructed before the 1940s, it is possible that buildings may contain asbestos. Asbestos was a commonly used construction material due to its resistance to heat. The military used it when constructing bases, barracks and other military buildings. Additionally, asbestos was used as an insulating material for boilers and furnaces. It was also used in brake pads, brake clutches and other automotive components in vehicles and planes.
