The poorly ventilated boiler rooms and engineering spaces were major areas of asbestos exposure aboard this ship. If you believe you were exposed to asbestos while serving aboard the SS Haiti Victory (T-AGM-238), and you are worried that you may have an asbestos-related illness, then the first thing to do is get checked over by your doctor. If he/she feels that there is cause for concern they will refer you to a pneumologist for a chest X-ray to find out if you are suffering from an asbestos-related disease or have the early signs of such.
