Many of the asbestos cases in Michigan are related to an individual’s line of work. Most of the people that have been affected by asbestos exposure have encountered the substance due to a lack of safety precautions by the employer. When this happens, the worker can potentially carry the asbestos particles to their home and expose friends and family members to the potentially deadly material.
Asbestos Exposure in Michigan
The state of Michigan has been dealing with the mesothelioma and asbestos issue for a long time now. Michigan has been the traditional heart of the auto industry, and still plays a large role in that industry today. For over a century, asbestos was used in automobile parts, including gaskets, clutches, brake pads and more. Still today, certain gasket materials and brake linings contain asbestos. In addition to the auto industry, chemical plants, steel and oil refineries, marine facilities, foundries and commercial facilities have been responsible for employee exposure to asbestos.
Michigan has several deposits of natural asbestos located in the upper peninsula in a heavily forested and geologically rugged area called the Porcupine Mountains. These asbestos deposits are located around the towns of Marquette, Negaunee and Ishpeming and contain both amphibole and chrysotile forms of asbestos.
