Asbestos in Railcars

The United States Geological Survey reported that, in 2006, the U.S. used 2,000 metric tons of asbestos, 19 percent of which were used in friction products such as vehicle brakes and clutches.

In addition to this machinery, railcars have been found to contain the carcinogen. Laboratory samples of railcar ceiling materials have confirmed that the adhesive tar material contained significant amounts of asbestos. Railcar workers, it turns out, were affected by the dangers of asbestos.

Use this section to learn more about the harm caused by the presence of asbestos in railcars.


Mesothelioma & Asbestosis Mortalities Across the US: 1979-2001 (c/o EWG)

“We have seen first-hand how asbestos has wreaked havoc on Americans working in naval shipyards, automobile plants, and the construction industry. Most often this is through their employers’ conscious choice for profits over a worker's health.”

-- Joseph Patrick Williams, a trial attorney in the Asbestos Litigation department of Weitz & Luxenberg
