Recycling company dumped asbestos containing material

It has been reported that a recycling company dumped asbestos containing material at a former truck stop. State investigators analyzed nine samples of the material and found that five contained asbestos. The company is facing the possibility of being sued for failing to remove the asbestos containing material.

The risk of asbestos exposure from the dumped asbestos containing material is significant because the material was ground up before being dumped. The grounding up of asbestos containing material is very likely to cause the release of asbestos fibers into the environment. Inhalation of asbestos fibers can lead to serious asbestos diseases like lung cancer and mesothelioma decades later.
