Boilers, Turbines, and Generators

People who served in the Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, or Air Force prior to the 1970’s made many brave sacrifices for their country.

Asbestos and Boiler Rooms

Before safety regulations were finally passed in the 1970’s, one of asbestos’s most popular uses was making insulation. This insulation was then used to protect the area around many kinds of heat-generating machines, including boilers, turbines, and generators.

The people most at risk for developing mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases are those who worked directly with the substance. This includes many construction workers and boiler room workers, especially those in the armed forces. Shockingly, even after the dangers of asbestos became known in the 1950’s, the military continued to use it in many ways for two more decades.

Navy veterans are notoriously at risk for asbestos-related illness, due to the poor ventilation aboard warships of previous decades. However, many people in all of the armed forces have been exposed to this deadly toxic. Today, many of these victims and their families are filing mesothelioma lawsuits to try to win compensation for their expenses and suffering.
