Kansas City Asbestos Facts

  • Missouri had 4,711 asbestos-related deaths between 1999 and 2017.
  • Of those deaths, nearly 500 were in Kansas City and Jackson County.
  • Industries including chemical manufacturing and vermiculite processing were major contributors to exposure in the city.

Harcros Chemical Incorporated

Chemical manufacturing is an industry that once heavily relied on asbestos. Harcros Chemical Incorporated once used it in all of its plants, including at its headquarters in Kansas City.

High-temperature machinery and equipment contained asbestos to prevent overheating and fires.

Subsequently, thousands of workers at Harcros facilities risked asbestos exposure. The company had manufacturing plants across the country.

Although Harcros stopped using asbestos in the late 1970s, this didn’t stop lawsuits after workers developed serious asbestos-related diseases.

Zonolite Vermiculite Processing

Kansas City was once home to a W.R. Grace/Zonolite vermiculite exfoliation facility. In the 1960s, the plant received thousands of tons of vermiculite from the Libby, Montana vermiculite mine, found later to be contaminated with asbestos.

Exfoliation of vermiculite is particularly risky for asbestos exposure. The process releases fibers and puts workers and even nearby residents at risk. Anyone who worked there or lived in the area could have been exposed.
