Florida Asbestos History: Florida has one of the largest retired and veteran populations in the country, many of whom were exposed to asbestos during naval service at Pensacola, Mayport, and Jacksonville military bases. Florida's booming post-war construction industry also relied heavily on asbestos-containing materials in roofing, insulation, and fireproofing. Power plants and phosphate mining operations in central Florida are additional significant exposure sources. Florida consistently ranks among the top ten states for mesothelioma diagnoses each year.
