Representing Workers in Ironton Asbestos Exposure Mesothelioma & Lung Cancer Claims
Several manufacturers, steel plants, cement companies and other industrial employers used asbestos materials at the workplace and put Ironton workers at risk of developing related illnesses like lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.
The use of asbestos was common for decades before the EPA and WHO and other health organizations warned employees and companies of the serious health impact of asbestos exposure. Asbestos was used in insulation, boilers, cement, piping and many other applications because of its durability and fire resistant capabilities.
Thousands of former Ironton workers and users Ironton made products were injured and have fallen ill with mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis.

- Pain in the chest
- Persistent cough
- Trouble breathing
- Lumps of tissue on chest and abdomen
- Weight Loss
