01. Statistics
Asbestos and Mesothelioma Statistics in Illinois
- From 1999-2015, 2,003 Illinois residents died from mesothelioma
- Illinois has a mesothelioma mortality rate of about 9 people per million annually (Source: CDC)
- La Salle, McLean and Lake counties in Illinois ranked among the top 50 in the nation with the highest age-adjusted mesothelioma death rate from 2000-2009 (Source: CDC)
- Illinois has no naturally occurring asbestos or ever had any active asbestos prospects, meaning exposure largely occurs in the workplace (Source: USGS)
02. Asbestos in Workplaces
Asbestos Exposure in Illinois Workplaces
Citizens of Illinois are fortunate to not have to worry about naturally occurring asbestos, but many industries throughout the state relied heavily on the toxin.
Oil Refineries:
Companies like Citgo Petroleum Illinois and Mobil Oil Illinois relied on asbestos for their processes because of its extreme heat resistance.
Manufacturing:
Since asbestos can resist both extreme heat and most chemical reactions, it became widely used in manufacturing processes. Companies like Nabisco Brands Inc in Marseilles and Kraft Foods, Inc. in Champaign are known to have used asbestos in their plants.
Power Plants:
Baldwin Power Plant and Clinton Power Station in Illinois, along with power plants throughout the country, used asbestos in their machinery, putting workers in these plants at risk for exposure.
Steel Mills:
Steel mills often used asbestos insulation to help protect equipment and employees from extreme heat and potential fires. These mills, like Granite City Steel and Keystone Steel and Wire, managed to keep their machines safe with asbestos, but put their workers in danger.
Military:
Mesothelioma largely affects veterans because of the wide use of asbestos in the military. Illinois is home to a number of U.S. Army bases and various arsenals like the Rock Island Arsenal, which may contain asbestos.
03. Superfund Sites
Asbestos Superfund Sites in Illinois
While Illinois does not have any shipyards, the state is home to several sites included on the Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund list. Two of these sites required cleanup due to the presence of a variety of environmental toxins, including asbestos.
Johns-Manville Corporation
The Johns-Manville Corporation began back in 1901 after a merger between two companies that heavily focused on the production of various asbestos materials, like insulation and cement. Over time, their offerings increased widely to even more asbestos-containing products, including everything from asbestos paper and pipe covering to floor tiles. Their gaskets and insulating materials were also widely used for naval vessels. Their 150-acre site in Waukegan was used as an asbestos disposal site for years, until they ceased operations on site in the 1990’s. The EPA began taking notice and making remediation efforts in 1982, after realizing significant levels of asbestos in the soil, air, debris and ground water among other contaminants. Cleanup efforts have been ongoing since, and the site will continued to be monitored.
Matthiessen & Hegeler Zinc Company
The 160-acre site of the Matthiessen & Hegeler Zinc Co. in La Salle was primarily a zinc smelting facility that operated from the 1850’s until the late 1970’s. At that time, another company purchased the facility and became the La Salle Rolling Mills until they went bankrupt in 2001. Through these years of use, waste and pollution built up around the area. The site was added to the Superfund List in 2003, after the EPA proposed its addition shortly after the bankruptcy of the prior tenants. The EPA noted various metal waste, like zinc and cadmium, which had runoff into the river and surrounding soil. They also found asbestos waste and storage tanks that were all removed from the site in their cleanup efforts. Investigations for the site and further cleanup plans remain ongoing.
