Michigan Asbestos History: Michigan's auto industry is at the heart of the state's asbestos exposure problem. For decades, automotive plants in Detroit, Flint, Pontiac, and Lansing used asbestos-containing gaskets, brake linings, clutch facings, and insulation in vehicle manufacturing. Auto workers, mechanics, and plant maintenance staff faced chronic asbestos exposure. Michigan's shipbuilding on the Great Lakes and the chemical industry along the Saginaw River also contributed to significant asbestos-related disease among Michigan workers and their families.
