Asbestosis Lawsuit Information: Why are there so many cases of asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer in New Jersey?

New Jersey was a prime destination for asbestos mined in Montana, resulting in thousands of deaths from mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer from asbestos.

In New Jersey, more than 336,419 tons of the Libby ore were sent to two locations in Trenton between 1948 and 1993.

These plants, according to the Environmental Working Group, typically “popped” or exfoliated the ore to producevermiculite attic insulation and other products.

This process produced a massive amount of asbestos-contaminated dust, very high workplace exposures, and significant airborne asbestos in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Government data showed at least 2,775 people in New Jersey were killed by asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer from asbestos from 1979 to 2001, the sixth-highest total among the 50 states.
