Chem Dyne Workers: Mesothelioma & Lung Cancer Claims
Asbestos is now known to cause a litany of health problems and cancers, including asbestosis, lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis and mesothelioma. But the material was used in various industries for decades before health and safety authorities warned the public of the health hazards associated with asbestos.
Why was asbestos used for so long? The material, before it was found to be extremely toxic, was thought to be the perfect insulator: it was cheap, durable, resistant against fire and plentiful. It was widely used in almost every industrial plant in boilers, electrical, insulation, machinery, adhesives, piping and HVAC systems.
Chem-Dyne, a company located in Hamilton, Ohio, was a large industrial producer of chemicals. In the 1970s, the Hamilton site also became a storage facility for chemical waste. The EPA has added the Hamilton Chem Dyne site to the Superfund list shortly after they found toxic contamination from arsenic, asbestos, benzene and other chemicals.

Chem Dyne Asbestos Risks
The three main diseases linked to asbestos exposure are asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. The latency period of any asbestos related disease is typically 20 to 30 years from initial exposure. Asbestosis is the most common asbestos lung disease and causes scarring of the lung tissue, also known as pulmonary fibrosis.
When asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested, they can lodge into the surface of the lungs and stomach and lead to cancer in the future. Several waste management firms, chemical producers and other industries used asbestos in their buildings capacities, and asbestos was found on the Hamilton, Ohio Chem Dyne plant when it was shut down.
