Asbestos exposure in West Virginia
Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of mesothelioma, and in West Virginia, chemical plants, power plants, coal operations, and steel mills were common exposure sources. Because symptoms can take 20 to 50 years to appear, exposure that happened long ago may only be causing illness now.
