Known Asbestos Exposure Sites in Troy, Montana
The following facilities have been identified as locations where workers and residents may have been exposed to asbestos. If you worked at or lived near any of these sites, you may be eligible for compensation.
W.R. Grace Libby Vermiculite Mine
The Libby vermiculite mine produced 70% of the world\'s vermiculite from 1923 to 1990 — and the deadliest single industrial public health disaster in U.S. history. The Libby tremolite/actinolite amphibole asbestos contaminated workers, family members (clothing brought home), and the entire town of Libby. Vermiculite ore was shipped to 240+ secondary processing sites nationwide (including Sylacauga AL, Easthampton MA, others). The site is the most studied EPA Superfund cleanup in the country. Lincoln County ranks #1 nationally for per-capita mesothelioma rate. ATSDR has documented community-wide elevated mesothelioma rates extending well beyond plant workers.
