Washington Power Plant Workers Mesothelioma
For much of the 20th century, asbestos was widely used throughout Washington power plants to insulate high-temperature equipment and prevent fires. Boilers, turbines, generators, steam lines, pumps, and electrical systems commonly contained asbestos insulation, gaskets, and heat shields.
Power plant workers were exposed during daily operations, maintenance shutdowns, emergency repairs, and equipment overhauls. Removing insulation, scraping gaskets, and servicing equipment released asbestos fibers into confined boiler rooms and turbine halls. Many workers experienced long-term, high-level exposure, leading to mesothelioma diagnoses years later.
