North Carolina Plumbers Mesothelioma & Asbestos Exposure Attorney

Plumbers and Asbestos Exposure

Plumbers often work in close quarters, many without protective gear, putting them at high risk for developing mesothelioma. Plumbers routinely must perform activities that heighten the risk of asbestos particles, including the sawing, sanding and cutting of asbestos papers.

When these materials are broken, asbestos particles are released into the air and can easily be breathed in or ingested by plumbers working in the vicinity.

While the risks asbestos posed to plumbers became widely known in the late 1970s, they were known by building developers and plumbing product manufacturers well before that. It is largely due to negligence and cost-cutting measures that so many plumbers are now suffering from the effects of mesothelioma.
