Ohio Asbestos History: Ohio's industrial heartland — steel mills in Cleveland and Youngstown, auto manufacturing plants in Toledo and Dayton, and chemical plants throughout the state — relied heavily on asbestos insulation for decades. Lorain's steel works and Cleveland's shipbuilding on Lake Erie exposed thousands of workers to dangerous asbestos fibers. Ohio also has a large veteran population, many of whom encountered asbestos during military service. The state ranks consistently among the top ten for mesothelioma deaths nationally.
