While not a major asbestos producer, South Dakota's historical use of asbestos in construction, industrial settings, and even some naturally occurring deposits presents potential health risks to residents, particularly those involved in renovation or demolition work.

Additionally, naturally occurring asbestos deposits exist in western South Dakota near Mount Rushmore.
