Pennsylvania Asbestos History: Pennsylvania's industrial legacy — steel mills in Pittsburgh, shipbuilding at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, textile manufacturing in Allentown and Bethlehem, and power plants statewide — created widespread asbestos exposure for hundreds of thousands of workers throughout the 20th century. The Philadelphia area alone has seen tens of thousands of mesothelioma cases linked to asbestos used in construction and shipbuilding. Pennsylvania steelworkers, pipefitters, insulators, and boilermakers remain among the most commonly affected occupations in the state.
