Georgia Asbestos History: Georgia's mesothelioma burden stems from its military shipbuilding facilities in Savannah and Brunswick, its textile and paper manufacturing industries, and its extensive construction sector. The Port of Savannah — one of the largest on the East Coast — was a hub for shipbuilding and repair that exposed thousands of workers to asbestos. Georgia's military installations, including Fort Gordon, Fort Stewart, and Hunter Army Airfield, also contributed to veteran asbestos exposure. The state's large construction workforce encountered asbestos in insulation, roofing, flooring, and fireproofing materials for decades.
