Until it was banned in the United States in 1989, asbestos was widely used in power plants and powerhouses due to its heat-reflecting and retarding abilities. A majority of the powerhouses in New York City were built prior to 1990 and may contain asbestos in and around things such as:
Due to the fire hazard in powerhouses, asbestos can be found in and around nearly everything that produces heat or could allow fire to expand, placing those who work in or on power plants at a very high risk for asbestos exposure. Those who are now showing symptoms of exposure should speak with a New York asbestos attorney as soon as possible.

Mesothelioma is a deadly form of cancer that can only be caused by the inhalation of asbestos dust and fibers. This disease can take up to 50 years to show symptoms, many of which occur only after life-prolonging treatments are no longer effective.
Because mesothelioma can take decades to show symptoms, New York powerhouse workers who are now retired may only just be facing a diagnosis. It is important to remember that you may be entitled to compensation for you and your family even if you have not worked in a powerhouse for years. New York mesothelioma attorney Joseph Williams would be happy to meet with you free of charge to explain your rights in further detail.
If you are experiencing any signs or symptoms of asbestos exposure, we strongly recommend you seek medical attention as soon as possible. Whenever you are concerned about adverse medical effects, working with a doctor can help you mitigate damage and heal quickly. Your providers can assess the circumstances, find latent medical issues, recommend treatment plans, and refer you to additional practitioners when necessary.
Prioritizing your health by visiting the doctor is also great for any legal matters you wish to pursue, as many documents can act as evidence in your case. Pieces of evidence can include doctor’s notes, medical bills, treatment plans, medical history, and more.
