Oklahoma asbestos-related injuries and lung cancer can lurk undetected for years, its symptoms often mirroring common ailments. However, recognizing the warning signs is crucial for early diagnosis and intervention. These might include:

• Chest pain or tightness
• Unexplained weight loss
• Fatigue
• Hoarseness
• Difficulty swallowing

Oklahoma's history with asbestos is far-reaching, with its use prevalent in numerous industries and construction projects. Past or potential exposure scenarios could include:

During shipbuilding and maintenance, workers were exposed to asbestos in insulation, flooring, and fireproofing materials. Even today tasks like welding, cutting, and sanding could release hazardous fibers.

Many homes built before the 1980s contain asbestos in various materials like ceiling and floor tiles, insulation, drywall joint compound, and siding. Renovations or DIY projects can release dangerous fibers if proper precautions aren't taken.

For certain branches and roles, depending on the era and specific duties, service members in branches like the Navy, construction battalions, and mechanics had a greater risk of encountering asbestos.

Workers coming home with asbestos dust on their clothes, shoes, and tools could unknowingly expose family members through contact and airborne fibers. Secondary exposure can occur when children and other family members spending time in areas where a worker's contaminated clothing or tools were stored could be exposed to dust settling on surfaces.
