New Mexico's diverse geology and history of mining and construction have resulted in the presence of asbestos in certain areas, potentially posing health risks to those exposed.
While not as widespread as in some heavily industrialized states, asbestos is found in New Mexico due to its natural occurrence in certain geological formations and its past use in construction and other industries. This presents potential hazards to workers in mining, construction, and other occupations, as well as residents in areas with naturally occurring asbestos. Learn about the sources of asbestos exposure in New Mexico, the associated health risks, and resources available to protect yourself.
