Plumbers risk exposure to asbestos in their jobs. Get a free legal review if you were harmed.

The Huddersfield Daily Examiner reported on July 31, 2008 that a plumber who worked with mixed asbestos died from mesothelioma. Unfortunately, plumbers are at high risk for exposure to asbestos.

The former plumber and heating engineer, was 83 at the time of his death, the article said.

Reportedly, the man was required to mix asbestos materials with water as part of his daily job. This led to long-term exposure with the building material.
