Shipyards in Oregon
According to the Agency
for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (an agency of the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services), between 1940 and 1980 an estimated 27 million
American workers had an occupational exposure to asbestos that could affect
their health.
These workers include the thousands of workers who were
exposed to asbestos while working for shipyards in the United States. Many of
these workers spent their careers working at shipyards in Oregon.
The
shipyards in Oregon include:
- The Astoria Voyage Repair Station Shipyard
- The Cascade General Portland Shipyard
- Commercial Iron & Steel Shipyard
- The Dyer Shipyards
- The GMD Shipyards
- The Oregon Shipyards
- The Tongue Point Naval Shipyards
The workers at these shipyards who were exposed to asbestos are at an
increased risk for developing serious lung diseases such as Mesothelioma, lung
cancer and asbestosis.
When you or a family member has been diagnosed
with mesothelioma or lung cancer, you depend on your medical team
to provide the best care for your illness.
