Virginia faces unique challenges with asbestos due to legacy industrial use and the presence of naturally occurring asbestos in certain geological formations, potentially exposing residents, workers, and the environment.
While Virginia has a history of asbestos use in construction, shipbuilding, and manufacturing, the state also has natural asbestos deposits. This combination presents a complex issue, as exposure can occur not only in older buildings and industrial sites but also through environmental contact in certain areas.
