Asbestos Exposure in Illinois

Workers in orange safety gear are maintaining railway tracks, with one worker in the foreground holding a tool and others working further down the tracks. The scene is outdoors with trees and utility poles visible in the background.

Illinois has a wide variety of industries that have used asbestos, such as manufacturing, power generationpetroleum, and chemical plants.

Illinois received at least 372,776 tons of asbestos-contaminated vermiculite from Libby, Montana. The locations with facilities that processed the asbestos-tainted vermiculite include Chicago, Girard, Peoria, Quincy, Buda and Calumet City.

Unfortunately, many of the families of workers at these sites also have an increased risk of developing cancer because of the asbestos fibers that were carried home on the body and clothing of those workers.

In Illinois, asbestos exposure commonly occurs in several types of environments due to the state’s industrial history and the widespread use of asbestos-containing materials in various sectors. Here are some of the key places where asbestos exposure is likely:

Steel Mills: Illinois has been home to several large steel mills, particularly in areas like Chicago and Granite City. Asbestos was commonly used in these facilities for insulation and fireproofing, exposing workers to the fibers.

Oil Refineries: Illinois is a major hub for oil refining, with several refineries located in the state. Asbestos was often used in the machinery and equipment due to its heat-resistant properties, leading to potential exposure for refinery workers.

Power PlantsPower generation facilities, especially older ones, used asbestos for insulation and to prevent fires. Workers in power plants may have been exposed to asbestos when maintaining or repairing equipment.

Buildings and HomesAsbestos was widely used in construction materials, including insulation, roofing shingles, floor tiles, and cement. Buildings constructed before the 1980s in Illinois, particularly in cities like Chicago, often contain asbestos. Renovation or demolition of these buildings can release asbestos fibers into the air.

Schools and Public Buildings: Many older schools, hospitals, and government buildings in Illinois contain asbestos materials. Maintenance or renovation work in these buildings can pose a risk of exposure to workers and occupants.

Train Manufacturing and Repair FacilitiesIllinois has been a key state in the railroad industry, with numerous train manufacturing and repair facilities. Asbestos was commonly used in brake pads, insulation, and other components of trains, exposing workers in these facilities.

Vermiculite Processing Plants: Although Illinois itself does not have significant asbestos mining, vermiculite ore contaminated with asbestos was processed in some facilities. Workers in these plants, particularly in the Chicago area, were at risk of exposure.

Brake and Clutch Repair: Asbestos was commonly used in brake pads, clutches, and gaskets. Mechanics working in automotive repair shops in Illinois may have been exposed to asbestos when working on older vehicles.

Naval Station Great LakesThis military installation, like many others, used asbestos in its buildings and ships. Veterans and military personnel stationed here may have been exposed to asbestos.

Home RenovationsIn Illinois, particularly in older homes, DIY home renovations can disturb asbestos-containing materials like insulation, tiles, and pipe wraps, leading to potential exposure for homeowners and contractors.

Geological Sources: While not as prevalent as in other states, there are small natural deposits of asbestos in Illinois that could pose a risk if disturbed, though this is less common compared to industrial sources.

You do not have to file your claim in the state in which you live. 

It’s far more important to contact an attorney with a strong history of experience specifically in asbestos cases, than it is to select one who happens to be in your area of Illinois. The most successful attorneys in your area may have never handled an asbestos case.

Provided below is a list of cities in the state of Illinois where asbestos jobsites are known to have been located.
