Veterans and Asbestos Exposure
Military veterans have faced significant asbestos exposure during their service, leading to health risks. Asbestos was widely used in military infrastructure, ships, and vehicles. Veterans who worked in shipyards, construction, mechanics, and asbestos-related trades were particularly at risk. Asbestos exposure occurred through handling asbestos-containing materials, working in poorly ventilated areas, and during maintenance and repair tasks.
Veterans may have inhaled or ingested asbestos fibers, which can cause serious health issues such as mesothelioma and lung cancer. Recognizing the risks, efforts have been made to raise awareness, provide medical support, and establish compensation programs for veterans affected by asbestos-related diseases.
