New York's dense urban landscape and history as an industrial powerhouse have resulted in a widespread presence of asbestos in buildings throughout the state, particularly in New York City. This poses ongoing health risks to residents, workers, and first responders.
New York faces significant challenges with asbestos due to its extensive use in construction, shipbuilding, and manufacturing industries throughout the 20th century. The state's aging infrastructure and the sheer volume of older buildings containing asbestos-containing materials (ACM) contribute to the ongoing risk.
