These companies were aware of the dangers associated with this hazardous mineral, but did not warn their employees and consumers.
The New York City area is particularly susceptible to asbestos-related illnesses because of its older structures and numerous construction sites. Brooklyn Navy Yard is a notoriously toxic area that continues affect the community around it.
Mesothelioma is triggered by exposure to asbestos directly, and many workers were exposed in the workplace. However, many people are diagnosed with mesothelioma as a result of an exposure secondarily to the harmful substances.

Asbestos-Related Diseases
A myriad of asbestos-related illnesses can develop due to exposure to the harmful mineral. The most severe condition is mesothelioma. Many people have died from mesothelioma. Other asbestos-related diseases include lung cancer, asbestosis, pleural plaques and the pleural effusion.
Mesothelioma is a rare but fatal illness caused by exposure to asbestos fibers that collect in the lungs and irritate the lining of the ribcage, chest cavity, and abdominal cavity (the the pleura). The inhalation of these small fibers can cause scarring to the lungs called asbestosis, and sometimes the formation of thickened patches on the pleura, known as plaques on the pleura, or an enlargement of fibrosis in the pleura, referred to as diffused pleural fibrosis. Pleural plaques or diffuse fibrosis can decrease lung capacity, as determined by a breathing test. They also cause pain and difficulty breathing, though they do not lead to cancer or mesothelioma.
Often, symptoms of asbestos-related diseases do not manifest until decades after initial exposure. This is due to the fact that it can take between 20 and 50 years for the exposure to asbestos fibers to damage the lungs. Workers who handled, cleaned, and removed asbestos from the workplace as well as children, spouses and other people who are exposed to asbestos are at risk of developing mesothelioma.
Other asbestos-related diseases, in addition to mesothelioma, include lung cancer and laryngeal carcinoma, peritoneal, ovarian, and peritoneal cancer. The most deadly mesothelioma type is ovarian cancer, but it's much less common than the general mesothelioma. It is diagnosed later than other mesothelioma types, because it develops within the linings of reproductive organs. Symptoms can be similar to those of other illnesses.
There were many companies that used asbestos in the 20th century, however they were aware that it was a risk. They exposed thousands of people to asbestos when they didn't eliminate it from their products. These people can now sue for financial compensation. Many asbestos-related manufacturers are bankrupt. As a result, the victims are able to seek the compensation they deserve from the trust funds set up by the bankruptcy courts.
