From asbestos-containing building material to naturally occurring asbestos, New York is one of the most dangerous states in terms of asbestos exposure.
For years, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority pumped asbestos-filled air into a bus depot in East New York for decades, exposing thousands of people without their knowledge. Every air vent of the bus depot was lined with an asbestos-laced cloth, used to make the air vents less noisy by reducing vibrations.
正如纽约石棉暴露律师所解释的那样，该州许多较旧的建筑（例如公交车站）都拥有过时的设备和材料，例如含有石棉的绝缘材料和地板。
纽约天然存在的石棉也可能导致接触。由于石棉是一种天然存在的矿物质，当它被压碎、切割或处理时，肉眼可见的颗粒很容易被吸入和消耗。
二战造船厂
During World War II, the New York Navy Yard was located in Brooklyn. Before being established as a military shipyard, it was used to build merchant ships.
几十年来，石棉被用于海军和商船的锅炉、管道、涡轮机、泵、发动机、焚烧炉和其他热敏感区域的隔热。许多海员、造船工人和军官都接触过石棉，并患上了间皮瘤等疾病。
尽管自 20 世纪 80 年代以来石棉的使用量显着减少，但大量船舶仍然含有石棉来绝缘锅炉、管道、垫圈和填料。造船厂工人在修理和大修活动期间仍然非常容易接触石棉。
9/11 悲剧
世贸中心爆炸的悲剧将数百吨石棉和其他危险物质抛入空中。袭击当天，该市的许多人以及许多来到该市帮助清理善后工作的人都被暴露了。其中许多人现在被诊断患有危及生命的疾病，这些疾病与他们接触的有害物质（如间皮瘤）有关。
那天以及袭击发生后的几天里，纽约市几乎每个人都接触过有害物质。据估计，袭击后的清理工作中有超过50万人接触到有害物质。
It has been reported that 1,187 people (439 rescue/recovery workers and 748 general public) have been diagnosed with three different types of cancers between 2007 and 2008. A total of 10,000 people were diagnosed with cancer linked to 9/11.
