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.

The Mount Cuba serpentine body located in New Castle County is the only known natural asbestos deposit in the state of Delaware. The majority of exposure to asbestos in Delaware has occurred in the workplace, especially chemical plants, oil refineries and construction/demolition sites. Military veterans stationed at bases such as Dover Air Force Base also faced a heightened risk of asbestos exposure throughout the twentieth century.
