Fiberglass would be the company\u2019s claim to fame as it became known as the inventor of this type of insulation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the insulation used is primarily composed of asbestos fibers, and the company\u2019s employees, including insulators, pipefitters, constructionist and demolition <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/1853355\">workers<\/a>, laborers, factory linemen, steam equipment repair workers, shipyard crews, and boilermakers, were all exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Many industrial workers like glaziers were around asbestos, even if they didn\u2019t work directly with it. Family members often washed the work clothes and were exposed as well.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With asbestos being heat resistant, many people who worked in glaziers, and other <a href=\"https:\/\/iro.uiowa.edu\/esploro\/outputs\/abstract\/IMMUNOMODULATORY-EFFECTS-OF-GLASS-FIBRES-IN\/9984364386302771\">glassworkers<\/a>, were near asbestos products like insulation even if they didn\u2019t work with it directly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working in small, contained spaces, such as in bathrooms, may have caused a high level of airborne asbestos which could have been inhaled or ingested. This would then lead to a greater risk of mesothelioma or other asbestos-related illnesses. And even though protective measures such as masks and Nomex coveralls were available they were rarely used, as employees and consumers were typically told by their employers that asbestos was safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Library of Medicine, Iowa Research Online, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provide scientific research and multiple articles that deal specifically with glaziers and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/niosh\/hhe\/reports\/pdfs\/75-192-330.pdf\">glassworkers<\/a>, linking their work to asbestos-related illnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"boxtextnew\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000;\">\n    <div class=\"row p-5\">\n        <div class=\"col-md-12\">\n            <table>\n                <tbody>\n                    <tr>\n                        <td>\n                            <h3>\u201cSome asbestos fibers may bypass\u2026your body\u2019s natural defenses\u2026and lodge deep within your lungs.
