What We Do
Most asbestos exposure site databases organize information at the state or city level. We go deeper — documenting exposure at the neighborhood, industrial corridor, and facility level. A worker who spent 30 years as a pipefitter in the Houston Ship Channel neighborhood is interested in Shell Deer Park’s specific exposure history, not a list of Texas industrial towns.
Our site organizes asbestos exposure data by:
- State — overview pages with statute of limitations and key industries
- City — major exposure site hubs with interactive maps
- Neighborhood / industrial corridor — the most granular level, matching how workers actually experienced their job sites
- Facility — specific plant names, active periods, and estimated workforce
Our Data Sources
The exposure site information on this site is compiled from publicly available records including:
- OSHA inspection records and enforcement databases
- EPA Superfund site records and environmental assessments
- Published epidemiological studies on occupational asbestos exposure
- Court records from mesothelioma and asbestos litigation
- NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) historical records
- Company historical records, industrial facility databases, and historical maps
- Academic and government reports on asbestos-related disease incidence by region and occupation
Data on specific facilities (active periods, worker estimates, risk classifications) represents our best synthesis of available information. Worker estimates are approximate and drawn from multiple sources. Risk classifications reflect the nature and intensity of documented asbestos use at each facility, not legally established liability.
