Those Who Worked at National Trainyards in the U.S. Were At Risk for Asbestos Disease, Including Mesothelioma

If you or a loved one worked at any of the national trainyards in the U.S., you were at risk for exposure to asbestos, a dangerous carcinogen known to cause serious asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma.
