Because large numbers of persons were employed in the United States shipyards between World War II and the late-1970s, the long-term risks for cancer associated with asbestos exposure in this setting are of great concern. The majority of workers at Hunt Shipyard were exposed to harmful asbestos dust and fibers on a regular basis at their place of employment, where they inhaled them without any respiratory protection. Long-term inhalation of asbestos fibers is exceedingly dangerous and may result in the onset of life-threatening illnesses like mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. If you or a loved one has been exposed to asbestos at Hunt Shipyard, you should make an appointment with your doctor at your earliest convenience.
