As asbestos was regarded as one of the most effective solutions in order to protect the turbines from overheating, this poisonous mineral was used heavily on the inside walls of the turbines.
In spite of preventing the dangers related to extreme heat by keeping these machineries working at a safe temperature, the asbestos contained within was putting the lives of the workers interacting with it in danger. The risk of exposure was incredibly high as the constant heat would have made the material friable. You could have been exposed if:
