New Jersey Asbestos History: New Jersey's dense concentration of chemical plants, oil refineries, and industrial facilities along the Hudson River and Newark Bay made it one of the most heavily asbestos-contaminated states in the nation. The state's petrochemical corridor in Linden, Woodbridge, and Bayonne employed tens of thousands of workers who faced daily asbestos exposure. New Jersey's construction trades — insulators, pipefitters, electricians, and carpenters — also faced significant exposure in commercial and residential building projects throughout the 20th century. The state consistently reports some of the highest per-capita mesothelioma rates in the Northeast.
