West Virginia Industries at Risk for Asbestos Exposure

West Virginia’s coal mining, power plant, oil refinery and manufacturing industries placed workers at risk for developing mesothelioma and other asbestos-related conditions. While West Virginia did not have asbestos mines, coal miners were at risk of being exposed to asbestos because transit panels, welding blankets and other materials used in this occupation contained asbestos. Powerplants and oil refineries used insulation that contained asbestos since the material is resistant to heat and helps prevent fires. Machines in these plants and manufacturing plants often contained asbestos.
