Asbestos Exposure During the Korean War

  • Asbestos and Mesothelioma Center - The Center's website reveals the fact that more than 300 products, particularly those used by the Navy from the 1930s through the 1970s, contained asbestos.  That website states:

"Clearly, virtually no portion of a naval ship was asbestos-free between the '30s and mid-70s, making Navy veterans and shipyard workers one of the most at-risk groups for developing asbestos-related diseases."

Thousands of veterans developed mesothelioma, particularly those who served in the U.S. Navy.  To learn more about veterans' exposure to asbestos, visit www.asbestos.com.
