South Carolina Mesothelioma Information

South Carolina is the United States 25th most populated state, with about 4.25 million residents according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2005 estimate. Some of the state's biggest industries include the manufacturing of textile goods, chemical products, and paper products, workplaces that have been associated with high rates of asbestos exposure in the past. Because asbestos exposure puts individuals at a higher risk of developing mesothelioma, current and former South Carolina residents who have worked in these industries should be aware of the dangers that asbestos poses.
