Memphis Asbestos Facts

  • Memphis’s industrial economy has led to significant use of asbestos materials and exposure risks for workers.
  • Between 1999 and 2017, the city and surounding Shelby County reported 349 deaths related to asbestos exposure.

International Paper Company

The International Paper Company is one of the world’s largest paper and packaging companies. Founded in 1928, it began expanding its reach into the south and eventually overseas.

The workers at International Paper Company pulped, bleached, refined, and dried raw paper materials. Most of the equipment and products used during this process contained asbestos, such as sandpapers, drying machines, and talc.

Additionally, International Paper Company’s facilities were constructed with ACMs in materials such as flooring, countertops, doors, insulation, pipes, boilers, and more.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the majority of asbestos exposure at most paper mills came from equipment repairs.

Maintenance workers at papers mills have the highest risk levels for developing an asbestos-related disease when inspecting and repairing the machinery.

FedEx and Memphis International Airport

The Memphis International Airport, and the city’s largest employer, FedEx, recently came together to upgrade sections of the airport. The $1.6 billion effort included remediation of asbestos.

A Federal Aviation Administration report from 2017 found that the airport had several buildings with asbestos. Some of the asbestos was friable, meaning it could flake apart easily and cause exposure issues.

Workers in the airport before remediation efforts may have been exposed.

Memphis Businesses and Buildings Associated with Asbestos

The International Paper Company is responsible for many asbestos-related illnesses in the area. Many other businesses in Memphis put workers at risk of exposure. Some of these sites still contain asbestos materials.
