Puerto Rico's industrial development, including construction, manufacturing, and military installations, has left behind a legacy of asbestos-containing materials in buildings and infrastructure, posing potential health risks to the community.
While asbestos was not mined in Puerto Rico, it was imported and widely used in various applications throughout the 20th century. This presents challenges due to the potential for asbestos exposure in older buildings, industrial sites, and even some residential areas.
