Asbestos mines

Asbestos mines, quarries and deposits, as the documents in our library describe them: 559 in all, 172 of them in the United States. The documents report 284 of them producing asbestos fiber that was sold or shipped, 100 in the United States; the rest were worked without reported sales, explored, or only described. In each state and country the producing mines come first. Each mine's page says who ran it, the years the documents say it worked, the fiber it produced and the output they report, with every statement linked to the page it comes from. Miners and millers, their families, and people who lived near these mines may have been exposed. Free case review.

Where this comes from

The asbestos chapters of the Minerals Yearbook, published every year by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and, from 1996, the U.S. Geological Survey (the chapters, 1932–2019). Each names the mines that worked that year, who ran them and what they produced. The industry's trade journal Asbestos (1919–1981) adds the news: new shafts and mills, owners, fires, strikes and closings. We record what each document says and don't choose between them. A mine that isn't listed may still have produced asbestos: these are the mines our documents name. For the factories that made asbestos products, see asbestos product plants.
