The last year asbestos was used in California was in 1973 when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began regulating its use. After the dangers of asbestos became more widely recognized, many states, including California, passed regulations to restrict or ban its use in various industries and products.

What types of cancer are caused by asbestos?

While the term " asbestos cancer " most often refers to mesothelioma, a number of other cancers are associated with asbestos exposure. Lung cancer, for example, is a direct result of asbestos exposure, and some studies have suggested an association between asbestos exposure and gastrointestinal and colorectal cancer. Mesothelioma cancer is the only asbestos-related cancer almost exclusively caused by asbestos. Mesothelioma can develop after someone inhales or ingests elevated amounts of asbestos over time. Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in the United States and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration calls it "the greatest health risk for American asbestos workers." Asbestos-related lung cancers are diagnosed more frequently than any other type of asbestos-connected disease. The Environmental Working Group estimates that between 5,000 and 10,000 asbestos-related lung cancer fatalities have occurred each year over the span of the last two decades.
