ASBESTOS USE IN THE 1900s

Located on the Hudson River on Hackensack Avenue in Kearny, New Jersey, the Kearny Generating Station was the largest power plant in New Jersey when it opened in 1925. The facility closed in 2004.

Power plants across the country made extensive use of asbestos, both when they were being built and throughout the facilities’ maintenance cycles. Asbestos was used as an insulator and fire retardant. The Kearny Generating Station is on a master list of work sites known to contain asbestos.

Asbestos was often placed on:

• BOILERS
• RADIATORS
• GENERATORS
• PIPES
• GASKETS

Maintenance workers were often tasked with ripping out old asbestos and replacing it with new asbestos. As a result, they were uniquely exposed to the material and placed at risk of mesothelioma and lung cancer. At The Williams Law Firm, P.C., our New York asbestos attorney has helped numerous asbestos victims receive the compensation they deserve.
