If you worked at the R.S. Nelson Station Powerhouse in Lake Charles, Louisiana, you may be at higher risk for developing diseases like mesothelioma, which are related to asbestos exposure that may have occurred on the job.
Employees of powerplants have been shown to be more likely to have early disease indicators in imaging tests, stemming largely from the widespread use of asbestos in power generation facilities.
Asbestos was widely used in industrial buildings for most of the last century, and it was considered especially critical in potentially volatile structures like the Nelson Station Powerhouse.
Asbestos insulates very well and acts as a flame retardant and fireproofing agent, so it was installed widely in the power generation industry as a way to reduce the risk of dangerous electrical currents and the possibility of an out of control fire.
Everything from fire doors to interior insulation to turbines to floor and ceiling tiles may have been made of asbestos, or included asbestos as part of a composite material.
Power generation isn’t the only industry that relied heavily on asbestos, but employees who worked at sites like the R.S. Nelson Station Powerhouse need to be aware of the dangers they face from working at a site where asbestos was in use.
