The Bronx, New York City

Asbestos exposures can happen in almost any settings but are more common in urban areas, such as New York City because of the population density and industrial sectors. One location where asbestos exposures occur is in the Bronx, the northernmost borough of New York City. Within the Bronx are several jobsites where exposures have been documented. Below are some common jobsites where exposures have occurred. For more information on a specific jobsite or for information on asbestos related disease, please fill out the form to receive a free mesothelioma and asbestos information packet.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing was an important sector of industry in the Bronx. Several people and families depend on the manufacturing sector of the Bronx for jobs. Unfortunately, some industries within manufacturing are prone to asbestos exposures, particularly those that deal with plumbing and electrical fixtures.

Power Plants

Power generators have long been associated with asbestos use and those in the Bronx are no different. Those who worked in the vicinity of asbestos products may have been exposed. Those who worked with older fixtures are likely more at risk, as these are more likely to have dangerous asbestos fibers.

Mass Transit

Hundreds of thousands of the Bronx’s residents rely on the Metro North commuter rail road each day. The rail lines are particularly prone to the use of asbestos, which was used in many of the pipe and electrical insulation. Those who worked in these areas may have been exposed to asbestos fibers in deteriorating fixtures. Long distance passenger rail terminals are also prone to asbestos use and those who worked in these industries should be aware of possible exposure risk.

Asbestos has been conclusively linked with a number of respiratory health complications including mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer. Those who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or think they may have been exposed to asbestos should fill out the form on this page to receive more information on top doctors, treatment options, and legal recourse. New York State limits the amount time for file suit in asbestos claims, meaning those who believe they may have been exposed should act quickly.
