Asbestos Exposure in Ohio

The vast majority of individuals battling mesothelioma are hard workers who have been exposed to asbestos during their employment. Many were exposed while working in Cincinnati, Dayton, Youngstown, Toledo, Cleveland, Akron and other areas of Ohio. These women and men, occupied with making a living to support their children and spouses, performed their jobs without questioning their supervisors or the hazardous materials they were asked to handle.  At many thousands of work sites across the United States, including sites across Ohio, workers have experienced asbestos exposure as part of their daily routine, placing their health, their lives and even their families' health and lives in danger.  Oftentimes without even knowing it was happening.

Unfortunately direct contact with asbestos is not always required to have an increased risk of an asbestos-related disease such as mesothelioma.  Coming in close proximity to the toxic material can be enough to expose someone to a dangerous level of asbestos.  Family members of those directly exposed to asbestos, nowhere near the actual asbestos, can also be in danger if they breathe in the fibers brought home on work clothes.  This "take-home" exposure can be just as dangerous as actual physical asbestos exposure at the job site.
