Asbestos and Mesothelioma in Maryville, Illinois

Maryville, Illinois asbestos victims are among the many residents of the state who have gotten sick from this harmful toxin. The facts about Illinois asbestos exposure and illness are staggering:

  • From 1999 to 2017, 12,067 people died from asbestos-related illnesses in Illinois.
  • These deaths resulted from lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.
  • Maryville and Madison County rank fifth in Illinois for the number of asbestos deaths during this period.
  • Cook County, Illinois has some of the highest mortality rates from asbestos exposure and mesothelioma in the U.S.
  • Illinois consistently ranks in the top ten states in the U.S. for the number of asbestos-related deaths.

Most asbestos exposure that leads to mesothelioma occurs in the workplace. Illinois has a long history of industrial workplaces that put workers at risk of being exposed to asbestos and other toxins. Some of the sites where Illinois and Maryville workers were likely to have encountered asbestos include:

  • Chemical plants
  • Construction sites
  • Insulation factories
  • Manufacturing plants
  • Oil refineries
  • Power plants
  • Schools and other public buildings
  • Steel plants
  • Vermiculite processing plants

Johns Manville, a company that made construction materials, had a large facility in Illinois that used asbestos extensively. It put many workers at risk of exposure. It also polluted Lake Michigan with asbestos and other types of toxic waste.

A Chicago vermiculite processing facility was also responsible for asbestos exposure in workers and nearby residents. The W.R. Grace company shipped Libby, Montana, vermiculite to the facility to be processed over many years. The vermiculite was contaminated with asbestos.

Closer to Maryville, the CertainTeed Corporation’s plant used asbestos in East Saint Louis. Workers came into contact with asbestos in various cement products, plasters, joint compounds, roofing coatings, and other construction materials.

In nearby St. Louis, Maryville mesothelioma patients benefit from the Saint Louis University Cancer Center and the Washington University School of Medicine Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
