Asbestos exposure in Louisiana
Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of mesothelioma, and in Louisiana, Gulf Coast refineries, petrochemical plants, and shipyards were major sources of exposure. Because symptoms can take 20 to 50 years to appear, exposure that happened long ago may only be causing illness now.
