Known Asbestos Contamination Sites in the U.S.
In partnership with state health department officials, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) has identified 28 former U.S. asbestos manufacturing locations as priority sites for community-wide assessments of asbestos-related disease. These locations received 80 percent of asbestos mined at the W.R. Grace vermiculite mine in Libby, Montana during the period of 1964 to 1990. Several years ago, the ATSDR reported that Libby had asbestosis death rates up to 80 times higher than expected and lung cancer death rates up to 30 times higher than expected.
