New Jersey Asbestos Areas

New Jersey is home to the Johns Manville Corporation, a company founded by the man who devised many of the uses for asbestos during the late 1850s and developed products for the market. The state’s refineries in northern New Jersey, the power plants scattered throughout and the shipyards in Hoboken are all locations where workers would have had a high likelihood of asbestos exposure when it was still being used as insulation and as fire retardant.

The same is true for the chemical plants in East Orange and Gibbstown, the refineries in Linden and the automobile parts and assembly factories. Asbestos was used as insulating material and for its fire resistant qualities. The danger from asbestos occurs when it is disturbed or deteriorates, releasing dust into the air that carries tiny asbestos fibers. Those fibers are inhaled and can cause both asbestosis and mesothelioma cancer, along with a number of lesser respiratory disorders such as asthma.

Many of the industrial installations in New Jersey were built during a period when asbestos use was acceptable and very popular. It is still causing health problems today because some has never been removed and because in the case of mesothelioma, the symptoms may not appear until twenty years or more after the individual is exposed to asbestos.

Asbestos Jobsites in New Jersey

The list below is a partial collection of New Jersey jobsites where asbestos products were used and asbestos exposure a real possibility. If you were employed at any one of them at any time during the twentieth century, you should speak with your doctor about the potential for asbestos-related health problems. If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or some asbestos related disease, speak with a New Jersey mesothelioma lawyer about compensation that may be owed to you by the asbestos companies and manufacturers.

Deaths Due to Asbestos Exposure in New Jersey

During the period from 1979 to 2000 there were 1,783 deaths in New Jersey due to asbestosis. A survey of death certificates from that period also shows that there were a similar number of deaths due to mesothelioma. In 1999 the federal government began tracking mesothelioma deaths accurately and on a national basis. In New Jersey from 1999 through 2004 there were 674 deaths due to malignant mesothelioma.

Tens of thousands of people have been impacted by asbestos exposure and the problem will continue for many years into the future. New Jersey is ranked sixth in the nation among states for the number of asbestos related deaths in the last twenty years of the twentieth century. The state’s prominence in this area is likely to continue.
