How are people exposed to asbestos?

Asbestos fibers are small, light, odorless, colorless and tasteless. They can stay in the air for a long time and are not easily detected.

Asbestos was used in thousands of products over the last century and can be inhaled or ingested by those who come in contact with it in the workplace or at home. These tiny particles also stick to a person’s clothing, skin, and hair. As a result, anyone else who comes into contact with that person may also be exposed to this dust. Upon inhalation or ingestion, this dust containing asbestos fibers remains in the lungs where it can cause serious disease.

Asbestos in Missouri and Kansas

Mesothelioma typically does not develop until decades after the asbestos exposure occurred. Manufacturers have a responsibility to produce safe materials, equipment, and products. However, many companies knew about the dangers of asbestos, but did not warn their employees and consumers about its risks.

Workers may have been exposed to asbestos at a number of jobsites in Missouri including the Kansas City Ford Motor Plant, the Pittsburg Plate Glass Chemical Plant in Crystal City, the Anheuser-Busch Brewery in St. Louis, the Standard Oil Refinery in Sugar Creek and many more.

Exposure was not limited to Missouri cities, either. Many worksites in Kansas have also been linked to asbestos exposure including several Kansas Power & Light Power plant and office buildings, the Phillips Refinery in Kansas City, the Proctor and Gamble Plant in Kansas City, the Frontier Oil Refinery in El Dorado, the Coffeyville Power & Light Co-Op Refinery, the Forbes Air Force Base in Topeka and many more.
