Dayton has been an important center of industry in Ohio for over a hundred years, with major corporations operating factories and plants in the surrounding area.
Dayton has been home to prominent steel plants (forgeries, foundries and mills), paper mills, railroad companies, auto part plants, appliance manufacturers, insulation factories, and drywall companies.
Many of the companies with operations in Dayton had buildings built with toxic asbestos materials, and many of the end products produced in factories contained asbestos. Any worker exposed to asbestos fibers for even a short duration may risk severe health consequences, including mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer.
