Typically, asbestos exposure will have occurred sometime between the 1950s and the 1980s. Some of the most prevalent trades that encountered large quantities of asbestos include: power plant workers, maritime workers, industrial workers, plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, mechanics, machinists, miners, railroad workers and construction workers, to name a few. Since the latency period for mesothelioma patients is from 10 to 50 years, most people diagnosed with mesothelioma or asbestos-related lung cancer in 2024 were exposed decades ago.

Oregon contains both natural asbestos deposits and a handful of asbestos mines. Oregonians who worked in the lumber, agriculture, and paper industries are at an increased risk of developing an asbestos-related illness. In addition, Oregon’s large shipping industry put residents in close contact with asbestos for many decades.
