Could I be exposed to asbestos from this site now?
The building was cleaned, and testing showed no detectable asbestos fibers when the Western Mineral Products plant was sold.
On the basis of this information, current workers are not being exposed to asbestos. People who live and work around the site are unlikely to be exposed to asbestos from the site.
There are very low levels of asbestos in soil in back of the site, but because people don't go there often, exposure to asbestos fibers there is unlikely.
We found no indication that people brought vermiculite or waste rock home from the site to use in their yards, gardens, or driveways. However, if they did, they may be exposed now to asbestos if they disturb or handle this material.

Were you put at risk when asbestos-laden driveways were sold?
