New Jersey is largely an industrial state. The state has been reliant on factory production since the Industrial Revolution. Many New Jersey residents found employment in industries with high asbestos exposure.
新泽西州因间皮瘤和石棉肺死亡人数最多，在全国排名第八。
Many of New Jersey’s prominent industries exposed workers to large quantities of asbestos. Sixteen of the state’s thriving manufacturing plants employed over 102,700 individuals and the eight shipyards in New Jersey employed 376,200 workers. These people often encountered asbestos in their workplace.
约翰·曼维尔产品公司
Johns Manville Products Corporation 于 1900 年代初在新泽西州中部开设了第一家绝缘工厂。
他们制造了无数含有石棉的产品，例如绝缘材料和 Transite（石棉水泥）管道。
约翰·曼维尔成为石棉诉讼中最臭名昭著的名字之一。公司官员在 100 多年前就知道石棉是致命的，但他们仍然继续使用它。
国家石膏公司
1925年，国家石膏公司开发出含石棉墙板。该公司于 1954 年购买了位于新泽西州米灵顿的 Abestone 石棉水泥厂，在那里生产石棉水泥。 1980 年，公司因前员工因在现场暴露而患病而提起的众多诉讼而破产。
国家石膏公司还对不正确地将石棉废物运送到米灵顿石棉垃圾场造成现场污染负有责任。
新泽西加工设施
位于蒙大拿州利比的 WR Grace 蛭石矿是世界领先的蛭石生产商，向全国各地的炼油厂出口数十万吨受石棉污染的产品。新泽西州的七家炼油厂从利比矿接收蛭石，使工人接触到纤维。
