Los Angeles Asbestos Work sites

Mesothelioma has adversely affected the lives of hard-working men and women in the Los Angeles area for decades, though only recently have we come to fully understand the extent of the damage caused by this insidious disease.

 Contact with asbestos or asbestos-carrying materials and products has led to the untimely deaths of over 1,000 L.A. residents over the last two decades, and this number continues to rise.  In spite of this sobering statistic, there are a host of industries who continue to use asbestos in a variety of forms and functions and fail to take into the account the safety and long-term health of their employees.

High concentrations of asbestos particles are found in a variety of L.A.-based industries, including aluminum, chemical and power plants, oil refineries and shipyards.  If you or someone you know works or has worked at any of the following sites, please note that there is an increased risk of contracting malignant mesotheliomic cancer, or one of several other asbestos-related conditions (asbestosis, lung cancer or pleural disease).
