MESOTHELIOMA

Secondary Exposure

 

Workers employed in industries involving asbestos were not the only persons exposed to asbestos. Many people with whom they were in close contact were also affected.   Secondary asbestos exposure refers to indirect exposure to asbestos.

 

This is most commonly associated with the family members of those faced with occupational asbestos exposure. Workers would often have asbestos fibers remain on their clothes, skin or hair at the end of their work day, and then transport these fibers from the workplace to the home, unknowingly exposing their family members and those close to them to deadly asbestos fibers.

 

From the construction and automotive industries to electricians and shipyard workers, occupational asbestos exposure was widespread throughout the 20th century.  Specifically, workers who may have been exposed to asbestos on the job include, but are not limited to: auto mechanics, boilermakers, drywall workers, industrial plant workers, insulators, machinists, millwrights, plasters, refinery workers, and roofers.
