Site Background

Site owners have processed vermiculite at 3401 North 3rd Avenue in Tampa, Florida, since the 1950s. The site remains an active vermiculite processing plant today.

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Florida Department of Health (DOH) are evaluating the plant because from the 1950s to 1991, the former owners, Zonolite and W.R. Grace & Company, processed vermiculite mined in Libby, Montana.

The vermiculite from Libby contained asbestos. ATSDR has linked exposure to the asbestos in Libby vermiculite with adverse health effects.
