📊 Facts About Asbestos in Textile Products

• 🪡 Asbestos was used in textiles for its heat resistance, durability, and insulating qualities.
• 🚨 Asbestos Exposure: Extremely high during weaving, cutting, sewing, or laundering asbestos fabrics.
• 💢 Asbestos-Related Disease Risk: Severe for textile mill workers, insulators, boiler tenders, welders, foundry workers, and Navy personnel.
• 🔥 Asbestos textiles often released fibers when handled or worn during industrial operations.
• 👷 Similar Occupations: Industrial fabricators, machinists, shipyard workers, refinery technicians, and maintenance crews.

📜 History of Asbestos Use in Textile Products

From the early 1900s through the late 1970s, asbestos was woven into textiles to create highly heat-resistant and fireproof materials. These fabrics were used for protective gloves, aprons, suits, blankets, and gaskets in heavy industry and shipbuilding. They were also incorporated into insulation cloth, conveyor belts, and protective curtains in foundries, chemical plants, and power stations.

Unfortunately, working with asbestos textiles — whether weaving them in mills, sewing them into protective clothing, or wearing them during industrial work — released harmful fibers into the air. Even laundering contaminated garments at home exposed family members. Decades later, many of these workers developed mesothelioma, asbestosis, or asbestos-related lung cancer.

🧮 Number of U.S. Workers Exposed to Asbestos from Textile Products

📈 Total Estimated Exposure:
Over 4.7 million U.S. workers were exposed to asbestos from textile products.

🧶 Asbestos Textile Products

Asbestos was incorporated into a wide variety of textile materials used for insulation, fire resistance, and industrial safety. These products released hazardous fibers during manufacturing, use, and disposal.

🔥 Fireproof Blankets & Curtains
Used to smother flames or shield workers from extreme heat. Cutting or handling released airborne asbestos fibers.

🧤 Heat-Resistant Gloves & Aprons
Worn by foundry workers, welders, and furnace operators. Daily use caused wear-and-tear that released asbestos dust.

🪡 Woven Cloth & Insulation Fabric
Wrapped around pipes, boilers, and turbines for thermal protection. Cutting and sewing fabric generated heavy fiber exposure.

🪱 Conveyor Belts & Industrial Fabrics
Used in manufacturing and chemical processing. Maintenance and repairs disturbed aging materials, releasing fibers.

🪶 Protective Clothing & Welding Suits
Provided insulation in high-heat environments. Fibers were often inhaled when garments deteriorated or were laundered.

🧑‍🏭 Types of Workers & Asbestos Exposure from Textile Products

👩‍🏭 Textile Mill Workers & Weavers
Handled raw asbestos fibers and wove them into fabrics. Exposure was continuous throughout the workday.

🧯 Boiler & Furnace Operators
