Companies in Johnstown Pennsylvania Linked to Mesothelioma

There were many manufacturing plants in the Johnstown Area. They manufactured steel and other metals at numerous mills. Some of these mills include Bethlehem Steel Mill and the US Steel Mill.

Johnstown also had many electric companies throughout that were linked to asbestos lung cancer. There were electric utility power houses including the Shelocta Power House, Penelec Power House and the Homer City Power House.

Rail yards were also a very important part of Johnstown and have been shown to have cases of asbestos exposure. There were railroads such as the Cambria and Indiana Railroad, and the Stony Creek Railroad.

Asbestos was extensively used as an insulation at all of these establishments. Asbestos pipe covering was used to insulate pipes, boilers, and turbines. Asbestos dust flew throughout these plants and factors leading to employees being needlessly exposed to asbestos.
