Alaska's remote landscape and unique history of resource development have contributed to widespread asbestos use, affecting workers and communities throughout the state.
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has documented areas throughout Alaska with naturally occurring asbestos (NOA), adding another layer of concern for residents. We provide information about asbestos in Alaska, the potential health consequences, and resources for those diagnosed with asbestos-related diseases and their families who may have been exposed to asbestos.
