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.

Thankfully, Hawaii does not contain any naturally-occurring asbestos deposits. However, Hawaiians who worked in the shipping, agricultural, energy and military industries are at an elevated risk of developing asbestos-related lung cancer or mesothelioma. In addition, most Hawaiian structures built prior to 1980 used asbestos products. As a result, renovations and demolitions in the state should be performed in conjunction with a certified asbestos abatement specialist.
