Asbestos Exposure in Alaska
Alaska is the home for many industries that use asbestos due to their geographic and geologic locations. In addition, Alaska is unique in that asbestos was once one of the state’s primary natural resources. However, the primary reason for asbestos exposure and mesothelioma in Alaska is the industries that operate there. Among the more common uses for asbestos in Alaska was in insulation capacities. Since Alaska is associated with extreme temperatures, nearly all buildings required a great deal of insulation to conserve the heat and prevent temperature transfer. Not only would asbestos be included in foam insulation, but it would also be used in floor and ceiling tiles.
The seafood processing industry is another that has given Alaska issues when it comes to asbestos exposure. Storage of raw seafood requires several layers of refrigeration, and asbestos was often used in the insulation material for these refrigeration units. While shipbuilding was not a major industry in Alaska, shipyards were used to maintain naval and fishing vessels, and shipbuilding has always been connected to asbestos. The asbestos material was used in all aspects of shipbuilding, and particularly at risk are those who serviced older vessels.
