Veterans from all branches of the United States Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard) are at risk for developing asbestos-related cancers, such as mesothelioma or asbestos-related lung cancer, due to asbestos exposure during their military service.
The widespread use of asbestos in the military from the 1920s through the 1980s put many United States service members at risk of developing asbestos-related diseases, like mesothelioma. This is particularly true for Navy veterans and shipyard workers. The majority of Navy vessels built before 1980 contained hundreds of asbestos-containing products, such as fireproofing, insulation or lagging on pipes and around boilers, and in gaskets and valve packing. For those who served in the Navy, asbestos exposure was nearly unavoidable.
Military family members may also be at risk from secondhand asbestos exposure. This occurs when someone is exposed to asbestos simply by being in close contact with or living with someone who was regularly exposed to asbestos. For example, asbestos dust could adhere to military uniforms or clothing and, if worn home, could expose loved ones—especially those in charge of laundering the clothing—to dangerous asbestos fibers.
Army veterans also faced asbestos exposure, particularly while operating, repairing, and maintaining military trucks, tanks, and other vehicles, or while living

in asbestos-containing barracks.
The U.S. military used asbestos in a wide range of applications, which created numerous opportunities for exposure among service members. As a result, veterans are at a significantly higher risk of developing asbestos-related diseases. To address this injustice, companies that supplied asbestos products to the military were later forced to establish trust funds to compensate veterans for diseases resulting from their exposure.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer, contact us. Veterans and their families deserve justice and compensation for asbestos-caused cancers. At The Veterans Asbestos Alliance, we are committed to fighting for veterans and their families who have been harmed by asbestos exposure.
