Milwaukee is one of the largest cities in the United States by population, with well over 600,000 residents who call the city home.

Asbestos was banned in the 1970s once there was enough evidence to conclusively prove that asbestos exposure was killing workers and residents across the country. This harm is caused once asbestos-containing materials are disturbed in a way that releases the mineral’s tiny fibers into the air around us. Humans then inhale or swallow the durable fibers, which then take a slow and steady process toward mutating the body’s cells and causing mesothelioma.
As such, it is precisely the durable nature of asbestos that made it regularly used at industrial and construction jobsites that contributes to the mineral’s toxicity for humans. In addition to causing mesothelioma, asbestos exposure also can cause asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis, a lung scarring disease. All of these diseases can be and often are fatal for victims who receive an asbestos-related disease diagnosis.
In fact, for many victims survival is unlikely.
Too many Milwaukee residents have also passed away because of exposure to harmful asbestos fibers.
