Asbestos Exposure Sites in New Mexico<\/h2>\n

\"Detail<\/p>\n

Naturally, asbestos has been found in at least sixteen New Mexican mining districts. Asbestos is often present in mines and the air when coal is extracted. This puts New Mexican coal miners at risk of exposure and mesothelioma.<\/p>\n

Mines are not the only places in New Mexico where asbestos is still lurking, though. Construction workers used asbestos to make thousands of buildings<\/strong> before the early 1980s. Renovating or demolishing these older buildings could disturb the asbestos inside.<\/p>\n

Asbestos-containing products like insulation were also used in the Four Corners Power Plant near Fruitland, New Mexico, and other power plants across the state.<\/p>\n
