Republic Steel & Asbestos Exposure – Buffalo, New York
Republic Steel, as well as Bethlehem Steel, enabled Buffalo, New York to become one of the largest steel-producing cities in the United States. Over sixty buildings were located at Republic Steel’s Buffalo plant, including bar mills, blooming mills, powerhouses and shipping buildings. Up until the late 1970s, dozens of asbestos-containing materials, such as pipe covering, refractory materials, gaskets, packing material, insulating cement and block insulation were also utilized in the buildings and mills. Workers who handled asbestos materials or those who worked in the vicinity of others who did were at a high risk for injurious exposure and at risk for developing mesothelioma, lung cancer and other asbestos-related diseases. Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos dust and fibers.
