AN INTRODUCTION TO ASBESTOS AND MESOTHELIOMA
Asbestos is a deadly mineral that has been used in thousands of products. When microscopic asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested, they can cause a number of diseases, including mesothelioma and lung cancer. Of the diseases caused by asbestos, mesothelioma is the most aggressive, attacking the internal lining of the lungs and abdomen. Mesothelioma typically does not develop until decades after the asbestos exposure occurred. A number of work sites throughout Connecticut are linked to asbestos exposure including:
Bridgeport
United Illuminated
St. Vincent's Hospital
General Electric Plant
Groton
Electric Boat Shipyard
New London Submarine Base
Groton Naval Shipyard
General Dynamics
Groton Naval Station
Hartford
Aetna Building
Aetna Life Insurance Company
Constitution Plaza
New Haven
New York/New Haven/Hartford Railroad
Waterbury
Scovill Corp. Headquarters Building

In Connecticut, one of the biggest asbestos exposure sites has been the New London Submarine Base, located just outside Groton. This station, which became a submarine base in 1916, is now home to all U.S. Navy submarine training. Like ships, many submarines built through the twentieth century were constructed using a great deal of asbestos. Therefore, many Navy veterans stationed at the New London Submarine Base were exposed to asbestos during their training.

The majority of individuals who have been exposed to asbestos encounter the so-called "magic mineral" in their line of work, often due to inadequate safety precautions. Others are exposed to asbestos indirectly when they come in contact with the clothing of a family member involved in a high-risk asbestos occupation.
Asbestos has been widely used in many industrial products including cement, brake linings, roof shingles, flooring products, textiles, and insulation. When microscopic asbestos dust particles becomes airborne, they can be inhaled or swallowed and can cause serious health issues.
Common work environments where a mesothelioma or cancer patient may have encountered asbestos include shipyards, oil refineries, sheet metal plants, automotive plants, construction sites, and many more. Here is a complete list of occupations that have been linked to asbestos exposure.
