Mississippi shipyards exposed workers to asbestos
According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (an agency
of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services), between 1940 and 1980 an
estimated 27 million American workers had an occupational exposure to asbestos that could affect their
health.
These workers include the thousands of workers who were exposed
to asbestos while working for shipyards in the United States. Many of these
workers spent their careers working at shipyards in Mississippi.
The
shipyards in Mississippi include:
- The Gulfport Shipyard
- The Halter Moss Point Shipyard
- The Ingalls Operation Shipyard
The workers at these shipyards who were exposed to asbestos are at an
increased risk for developing serious lung diseases such as Mesothelioma, lung
cancer and asbestosis.
