Typically, asbestos exposure will have occurred sometime between the 1950s and the 1980s. Some of the most prevalent professions 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 approximately 40 years, most people diagnosed with mesothelioma or asbestos-related lung cancer in 2024 were exposed decades ago.

Not only does Utah have an abundance of asbestos contaminated mines where workers were subject to dangerous exposure for decades, but the state also contains seven known naturally-occurring asbestos deposits. In addition, asbestos-contaminated vermiculite from W.R. Grace’s notorious mine in Libby, Montana was processed in two facilities near Salt Lake City and in one refinery in Richfield, UT. Residents of Utah who worked in the mining, petroleum and chemical industries are at an increased risk of developing mesothelioma and/or an asbestos-related lung cancer.
