Asbestos Exposure in Louisiana - Lung Cancer and Mesothelioma

Amco Insulations in New Orleans, Louisiana operated as an insulation contractor serving industrial, marine, and commercial facilities in the greater New Orleans area, typically installing, maintaining, and removing mechanical insulation on piping, boilers, vessels, and HVAC systems, and performing repair or retrofit work during outages and turnarounds. Because insulation materials used widely through the 1970s commonly contained asbestos, employees and other trades working around Amco Insulations crews in New Orleans, LA could have encountered airborne fibers during cutting, mixing, sawing, or removing pipe covering, block insulation, or insulating cements, particularly in confined plant or shipboard spaces and before modern controls were adopted. Potential secondary exposure may also have occurred when dust was carried home on work clothing. Following federal and state restrictions on asbestos and the adoption of abatement standards, operations at such sites generally shifted to non-asbestos materials and required wet methods, containment, and personal protective equipment. While specific dates and client facilities for this location are not publicly documented, its industry role and era place it among sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

There is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

For the American Alcohol Company in West Wego, LA, there is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

There is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. This refers to the American Alcohol Company facility in Westwego, Louisiana. 

American Brewing Co in New Orleans, Louisiana operated as a regional brewery during the first half of the 20th century, producing beer for the New Orleans market and the broader Gulf Coast with typical brewery functions such as brewing, fermenting, bottling, warehousing, and distribution from its New Orleans, LA facility. Operations relied on steam and refrigeration systems - boilers, kettles, pasteurizers, and extensive hot-water and steam piping - supported by in-house maintenance and outside contractors. Because breweries and industrial sites of that era commonly used asbestos-containing insulation, gaskets, packing, and cement on high-temperature equipment and piping, there was potential for asbestos exposure to workers such as pipefitters, boilermakers, insulators, maintenance mechanics, and production staff during installation, repair, or removal of these materials, particularly before modern regulations reduced such use. 

The American Compress & Warehouse Co. in Shreveport, Louisiana operated as part of a regional network of cotton compress and warehousing facilities, receiving bales from gins, compressing them to higher density for economical shipment, storing inventory in large warehouses, and transferring loads to rail and truck for distribution; the Shreveport, LA location would have relied on heavy mechanical presses, forklifts, and rail-connected storage buildings staffed by press operators, warehouse workers, mechanics, and maintenance crews to support the seasonal cotton trade. Facilities of this type built and operated during much of the 20th century commonly used asbestos-containing materials, including insulation on boilers and steam lines, gaskets and packing in pumps and compressors, transite and roofing products in warehouse structures, and friction materials in forklifts and press machinery, creating the potential for asbestos exposure to employees and contractors, particularly during equipment maintenance, repairs, or renovation activities. 

The American Cotton Oil Company site in Shreveport, Louisiana operated as part of a larger Southern network that processed cottonseed into oil, meal, hulls, and linters, with typical plant operations including seed cleaning, crushing/pressing, oil refining, and byproduct handling to supply regional food and industrial markets in and around Shreveport, LA. As with many early- to mid-20th-century oil mills and refineries, plant utilities relied on steam and high-heat processes, and equipment such as boilers, furnaces, dryers, pipe systems, pumps, valves, and gaskets commonly incorporated asbestos-containing insulation and components before the 1980s; maintenance crews, insulators, pipefitters, and other workers could have faced potential asbestos exposure during installation, repair, or cleanup activities. While detailed site-specific records are limited, the facility is included among locations where occupational asbestos exposure may have occurred, and any exposure likelihood would have depended on job role, time period, and the materials in use during operations at this American Cotton Oil Company location. 

The American Creosate facility in Slidell, Louisiana was a wood-preserving plant that operated for much of the 20th century, treating railroad ties, utility poles, and pilings with creosote and similar preservatives, which led to significant releases of tar-like sludges and contaminated process water into unlined pits and adjacent waterways near Bayou Bonfouca. Historical spills, leaks, and at least one fire contributed to widespread soil, sediment, and groundwater contamination primarily with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons associated with creosote. The site was addressed under federal Superfund authorities, with remedies that included dredging and thermal treatment/incineration of contaminated sediments and soils, source removal, capping, and long-term groundwater and site monitoring; portions of the area have been returned to controlled reuse. While creosote was the principal hazard of record, possible asbestos exposure at American Creosate - Slidell, LA could have occurred through asbestos-containing insulation, gaskets, and building materials historically used on boilers, steam lines, pumps, and other process equipment typical of wood-treatment plants of that era, especially for maintenance and repair workers; any such asbestos would have been incidental to the plant's operations rather than a product it manufactured. 

American Creosote Works, Incorporated operated a wood-preserving facility in New Orleans, Louisiana that pressure-treated timber products - such as railroad ties, utility poles, bridge timbers, and marine pilings - using creosote and related preservatives. Typical plant operations included use of large steel treatment cylinders (retorts), storage tanks and piping for creosote, steam and heat systems to condition wood, drip pads and yard storage areas, and loading operations for outbound shipments, with residual creosote and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons commonly associated with soils and process areas at such facilities. Part of a larger network of ACW plants active through much of the 20th century, the New Orleans, LA location reflects the era's industrial practices and associated environmental concerns. Possible asbestos exposure at this site could have occurred because facilities of this type and vintage often used asbestos-containing materials for high-heat service, including insulation on boilers and steam lines, pipe and vessel lagging, gaskets and packing in pumps and valves, and certain building materials (such as roofing, siding, and cement panels); production workers, maintenance personnel, pipefitters, insulators, electricians, and contractors would have been at particular risk during installation, repair, or removal activities that disturbed these materials. 

American Creosote Works, Incorporated operated a wood-preserving facility in Southport, Louisiana, where timber products such as railroad ties, utility poles, and pilings were pressure-treated with creosote in large retort cylinders supported by boilers, pumps, piping, storage tanks, and on-site rail and river shipping; like similar creosoting plants of the era, the Southport, LA operation served regional transportation and utility markets and carried typical environmental concerns related to handling creosote and byproducts. Possible asbestos exposure at this location could have occurred for workers and maintenance contractors through historical use of asbestos-containing materials on high-temperature and mechanical systems - such as insulation and lagging on boilers and steam lines, gaskets and packing in pumps and valves, and roofing or transite components - particularly during repair, removal, or other disturbance of aging equipment without proper controls. 

American Cyanamid - Avandale, LA is referenced as a chemical manufacturing and processing site within the Mississippi River industrial corridor, and the Avandale, Louisiana location would have supported typical heavy-industry operations such as bulk and specialty chemical handling with boilers, high-pressure steam systems, reactors, heat exchangers, pumps, and extensive piping networks; at facilities of this type built and operated during the mid-20th century, asbestos-containing materials were commonly used for pipe and equipment insulation, boiler and turbine lagging, gaskets, valve packing, and fireproofing, creating potential asbestos exposure for plant workers and on-site contractors - especially insulators, pipefitters, millwrights, maintenance crews, and turnaround personnel - during installation, repair, removal, and cleanup activities. While specific production lines for the American Cyanamid - Avandale, LA site are not publicly detailed, its role aligns with the company's broader Gulf Coast chemical operations and utility-intensive processes, and any legacy asbestos present from pre-1980s construction and maintenance practices could have released fibers when disturbed, posing inhalation risks in high-temperature and maintenance areas. 

American Cyanamid - Avondale, Louisiana is listed among potential asbestos exposure locations. There is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

The American Cyanamid ammonia plant in Destrehan, Louisiana, was part of the company's Gulf Coast chemical operations along the Mississippi River, producing anhydrous ammonia for fertilizers and other chemical intermediates using natural-gas reforming and high-pressure Haber-Bosch synthesis supported by boilers, steam and condensate systems, compressors, heat exchangers, refrigerated storage, and river-barge or pipeline loading. Typical operations at the Destrehan, LA facility would have involved primary and secondary reformers, shift conversion, CO2 removal, a synthesis loop, and routine maintenance and turnaround work by operators, engineers, and contractors. As with many mid-20th-century ammonia plants, asbestos-containing materials were commonly used for high-temperature insulation on steam lines and process piping, around reformers and boilers, and in gaskets, packing, and components such as pumps, valves, turbines, and heat exchangers; consequently, insulators, pipefitters, boilermakers, millwrights, and other trades may have faced asbestos exposure risks during installation, maintenance, and insulation removal before modern controls and substitutions reduced such hazards. 

American Cyanamid Company operated a large chemical manufacturing facility at the Fortier complex in the Avondale/Waggaman area of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, commonly associated with Avondale, Louisiana, where for decades it produced fertilizer and industrial chemical intermediates such as ammonia, nitric and sulfuric acids, urea solutions, and related products serving regional agriculture and petrochemical markets; following American Cyanamid's corporate changes in the 1990s, the site continued under successor owners as part of the ongoing Fortier industrial corridor. Operations relied on high - temperature processes with extensive piping, boilers, reactors, and storage systems typical of mid - 20th - century chemical plants, and like many facilities of that era, asbestos - containing insulation, gaskets, and packing were commonly used, creating potential exposure risks for production employees, maintenance personnel, pipefitters, insulators, and contractors during routine work, repairs, and insulation removal, with possible secondary exposure from contaminated work clothing. The Avondale, LA location reflects the long history of American Cyanamid's agricultural and industrial chemicals business along the Mississippi River and its continued role in Gulf Coast chemical manufacturing. 

American Cyanamid Co. - Ama, LA refers to a site in Ama, Louisiana. There is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

American Cyanamid Company - Avondale, LA refers to the company's Fortier chemical complex along the Mississippi River in Jefferson Parish near Avondale, Louisiana, a mid-20th-century facility that manufactured basic and intermediate chemicals for industrial and agricultural markets, including products such as acrylonitrile, melamine, ammonia, urea, and ammonium nitrate/urea-ammonium-nitrate solutions; the site later became part of Cytec Industries after American Cyanamid's spin-off and is today associated with successor operations at the Fortier complex. These processes involved high-temperature and high-pressure equipment, extensive steam and utility systems, and corrosive-service units typical of large chemical plants. As with many facilities of its era, asbestos-containing materials were commonly used before the 1980s for insulating boilers, turbines, piping, and heat exchangers and in gaskets and valve packing, creating potential asbestos exposure for operators, pipefitters, insulators, maintenance workers, and contractors during installation, repair, or removal activities; while controls and substitutions reduced use over time, legacy materials could have remained in older units. 

American Cyanamid Company's New Orleans, Louisiana location was part of the company's Gulf Coast chemical operations, supporting the manufacture, packaging, and distribution of industrial and agricultural chemical products that moved through the Port of New Orleans and the Mississippi River corridor; activities in the area were later continued by successor companies after corporate restructurings in the 1990s. The site functioned within the region's larger petrochemical network, with typical plant infrastructure such as boilers, steam systems, reactors, pumps, and warehouses. Possible asbestos exposure at American Cyanamid Company in New Orleans, LA could have occurred prior to the 1980s from insulation on steam and process piping and equipment, from asbestos-containing gaskets and packing in pumps and valves, from refractory materials in heaters, and from building materials used in older structures, particularly affecting maintenance workers, pipefitters, insulators, and contractors. As regulations tightened, asbestos use was phased out and abatement efforts reduced risks, though legacy materials could have remained in older units during renovation or demolition. 

The American Cyanamid Company facility in Westwego, Louisiana operated for decades as a large chemical manufacturing and processing complex along the Mississippi River, supporting the company's agricultural, water-treatment, and industrial chemical product lines; after corporate restructuring in the 1990s, operations at the Westwego area site were associated with successor entities such as Cytec Industries. Typical plant activities included chemical reaction and finishing operations, bulk storage, utility generation (steam and power), and shipping by rail and barge, with a workforce of operators, maintenance personnel, laboratory staff, and contractors. As with many mid-20th-century chemical plants, possible asbestos exposure at the American Cyanamid Company - Westwego, LA site could have occurred before modern controls were in place, particularly from thermal insulation on boilers, steam lines, heat exchangers, pumps, and valves, as well as from asbestos-containing gaskets and packing; maintenance and insulation trades, turnaround crews, and demolition or retrofit workers would have faced the highest potential risk, with abatement and substitution efforts expanding from the late 1970s onward. 

The American Cynamid Chemical Plant in Waggaman, Louisiana was a large integrated manufacturing complex on the west bank of the Mississippi River, developed in the mid-20th century under American Cyanamid and later operated as the Fortier site by Cytec Industries before transitioning to Cornerstone Chemical Company; it historically produced a range of base and intermediate chemicals used for plastics, resins, and industrial processes, including products such as acrylonitrile, melamine, and sulfuric acid, supported by steam and power generation, high-temperature/high-pressure units, and extensive piping networks. Typical plant operations involved round-the-clock production with operations, maintenance, laboratory staff, and contractors managing unit turnarounds and equipment overhauls. As with many chemical plants of that era, potential asbestos exposure at the Waggaman, LA site most likely arose from historical use of asbestos-containing insulation and components on steam lines, boilers, turbines, pumps, valves, gaskets, and packing, as well as in certain building materials; the greatest risks would have been to insulators, pipefitters, millwrights, boilermakers, mechanics, and electricians performing maintenance or insulation removal before widespread abatement and stricter controls took hold in the late 1970s-1980s, although legacy materials could have persisted in older units until removed.

The location known as American Rice Milling Company in Crawby, Louisiana is referenced as a rice-milling jobsite, where operations would typically include receiving and storing rough rice, drying and parboiling, milling and polishing, grading, and packaging for distribution, supported by grain elevators, silos, conveyors, hullers, polishers, dryers, boilers, and steam systems; as with many grain and rice mills operating through much of the 20th century, asbestos-containing insulation, gaskets, packing, and other high-temperature materials were commonly used on boilers, steam piping, dryers, pumps, and related equipment, creating the potential for asbestos exposure among boiler operators, millwrights, maintenance and repair crews, and other workers during routine work and shutdowns; specific site details for American Rice Milling Company - Crawby, LA are limited in public records, but it has been identified among locations where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

The American Standard Corporation site in New Orleans, Louisiana was part of the company's nationwide business producing and distributing plumbing fixtures, related building products, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment; however, specific operations for the New Orleans, LA location are not publicly documented. Historically, American Standard and similar industrial facilities used asbestos-containing materials such as insulation, gaskets, packing, and cements in plumbing and HVAC equipment and in building systems, presenting potential exposure risks for manufacturing workers, maintenance staff, and contractors before regulations in the late 1970s-1980s reduced such use. There is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

For American Standard, Inc. in New Orleans, Louisiana, there is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

American Sugar's refinery in Arabi, Louisiana - commonly known as the Domino Sugar refinery - is a long-running cane sugar processing and packaging complex on the Mississippi River in St. Bernard Parish; the American Sugar facility in Arabi, LA receives raw sugar by ship and barge and uses standard refining steps (affination, melting, clarification, filtration/decolorization, evaporation, crystallization, centrifuging, drying, and packaging) to produce granulated, brown, confectioners, and liquid sugars for distribution by rail and truck. The site has operated for decades and sustained major flood damage during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, after which it underwent repairs and upgrades and returned to service. Because the plant dates to an era when asbestos-containing materials were widely used in heavy industry, older equipment and buildings at sugar refineries historically incorporated asbestos in insulation and components on steam lines, boilers, evaporators, dryers, pumps, valves, and gaskets; maintenance, repair, and post-storm remediation that disturbed those materials could have posed exposure risks to refinery workers and contractors until abatement and modern controls were implemented. 

The American Sugar - New Orleans, LA facility operated as a cane sugar refinery in the New Orleans, Louisiana area, receiving raw sugar by ship and barge on the Mississippi River and processing it through melting, clarification, filtration/decolorization, crystallization, drying, and packaging for industrial and consumer markets; typical operations relied on large boilers and steam systems, vacuum pans, evaporators, centrifuges, extensive piping, and warehousing, with work performed by refinery operators, maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and other trades. As with many mid-20th-century industrial refineries, possible asbestos exposure may have occurred from insulation on boilers and steam lines, gaskets and packing in pumps and valves, refractory materials, and certain building products, with the highest risk during maintenance, repair, or demolition activities that could release airborne fibers. 

The American Sugar Company facility in Chalmette, Louisiana - commonly known as the Domino Sugar refinery and part of American Sugar Refining - has operated since the early 20th century on the Mississippi River in St. Bernard Parish, receiving raw sugar by ship and barge and refining it into granulated, powdered, brown, and liquid sugars for consumer and industrial customers, with on-site packaging and bulk shipments moved by marine, rail, and truck. Operations at this large, continuous-process plant rely on boilers, evaporators, centrifugals, dryers, turbines, and extensive steam and process piping. As in many pre-1980 industrial facilities, asbestos-containing insulation, gaskets, packing, and refractory materials were commonly used on such high-temperature equipment, creating potential asbestos exposure risks for production workers, maintenance personnel, pipefitters, and contractors - particularly before modern OSHA and EPA controls, and during repair or renovation activities that could disturb aging materials. The Chalmette, LA refinery remains a major regional sugar refining and logistics hub, with current operations conducted under regulatory requirements intended to manage and limit any remaining asbestos hazards. 

American Sugar Refineries operated a major cane-sugar refining complex in New Orleans, LA, linked to the Mississippi River port, where it received raw sugar by ship and barge and refined it into granulated, brown, and powdered sugar for industrial customers and retail markets. Typical operations at the site included raw sugar unloading, washing/affination, clarification and filtration, evaporation, crystallization in vacuum pans, centrifuging, drying, packaging, bulk storage, and distribution by rail and truck, supported by large steam plants, boilers, turbines, extensive piping, conveyors, and maintenance shops. The facility was a longstanding part of the industrial base and logistics network of New Orleans, Louisiana. As with many 20th-century sugar refineries, American Sugar Refineries' New Orleans operations likely used asbestos-containing insulation on boilers, steam lines, evaporators, dryers, and in gaskets and packing; maintenance, pipefitting, insulation, and boiler-room work could have disturbed these materials and created airborne exposure risks before modern abatement and safety controls were implemented. 

The American Sugar Refinery in New Orleans, Louisiana operated as a major cane-sugar processing complex along the Mississippi River, receiving raw sugar by barge and ship and converting it to refined products through melting and clarification, filtration and decolorization, evaporation, vacuum-pan crystallization, centrifuging, drying, and packaging for industrial and consumer markets. The New Orleans, LA facility depended on extensive high-temperature and steam systems - boilers, turbines, evaporators, vacuum pans, heaters, dryers, and wide runs of process and steam piping - supported by maintenance shops, warehouses, and continuous bagging and bulk-loading operations typical of large refineries. As with many industrial plants constructed or modernized before the late 1970s, asbestos-containing materials were commonly used for thermal insulation and sealing, including pipe covering, boiler and equipment insulation, gaskets, valve and pump packing, cement, and some roofing and siding; during routine maintenance, equipment overhauls, or storm-related repairs, workers such as pipefitters, boiler operators, insulators, millwrights, electricians, and laborers could have experienced asbestos exposure when aging materials were disturbed. While site-specific exposure records are not provided here, the processes, equipment, and era of operation at the American Sugar Refinery in New Orleans present credible pathways for asbestos exposure consistent with industry practice of the period. 

The American Sugar Refining Company - Chalmette, LA facility, commonly associated with the Domino Sugar brand, is a long - standing cane sugar refinery on the Mississippi River in St. Bernard Parish that receives raw cane sugar by ship and barge, melts and clarifies it, crystallizes and dries it, and then packages refined granulated, powdered, and brown sugars for industrial and retail customers. Operating for many decades in the Chalmette, Louisiana area and serving as a major local employer, the plant underwent significant repairs after flooding from Hurricane Katrina before returning to service. Like many mid - 20th - century industrial sites, the refinery's historic use of high - temperature steam systems - boilers, evaporators, crystallizers, turbines, and extensive piping - means asbestos - containing insulation, gaskets, packing, and cement were commonly used in past construction and maintenance, creating potential asbestos exposure risks particularly for maintenance personnel, pipefitters, insulators, and equipment operators before modern controls and abatement programs were implemented; current operations are conducted under contemporary safety and materials management standards to minimize such risks. 

The American Sugar Refining Company facility in New Orleans, LA is a long-running Mississippi River-side cane sugar refinery, part of the ASR Group (Domino Sugar), that receives raw sugar by ship and barge and refines it into granulated, powdered, and brown sugar for industrial and retail markets through affination, clarification, evaporation, crystallization, centrifuging, drying, and packaging, supported by extensive utilities such as high-pressure boilers, steam and condensate systems, vacuum pans, and maintenance shops with rail and truck logistics. Built and expanded over the 20th century, the New Orleans, Louisiana refinery historically relied on steam-driven processes common to heavy industry, and like many older refineries it likely incorporated asbestos-containing materials for heat and fire protection in equipment and building components, including insulation on boilers and steam piping, valve and pump packing, gaskets, and lagging around evaporators and other high-temperature units. Potential asbestos exposure would have been most likely for insulators, pipefitters, maintenance crews, and contractors performing repairs, tear-outs, or equipment overhauls before modern controls and abatement programs became standard; ongoing risk today is typically limited to disturbance of legacy materials during renovation or demolition under regulated procedures. 

The American Sugar Refining Company's Domino Sugar refinery in Arabi, Louisiana, located in St. Bernard Parish along the Mississippi River, has operated for more than a century as a major cane sugar processing and packaging facility, receiving raw sugar by ship and barge and producing granulated, brown, and powdered sugar for bulk and retail markets; the site, now part of ASR Group, historically utilized extensive steam and heat systems, boilers, evaporators, crystallizers, dryers, and conveyors, and - after sustaining heavy damage during Hurricane Katrina - resumed operations following repairs, remaining a significant local employer. As with many pre-1980 industrial plants, the refinery likely incorporated asbestos-containing materials (such as pipe and boiler insulation, gaskets, packing, roofing, and fireproofing), creating potential exposure risks for workers - particularly maintenance, insulation, and repair personnel - during equipment overhauls, outages, and storm-related demolition or renovation, though subsequent abatement and modern controls have reduced routine exposure. 

Regarding the American Sugar Refining Company facility in Three Oaks, Louisiana: There is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

For American Tankships Corporation - New Orleans, LA: There is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

American Tennis Courts Of Louisiana in Metairie, Louisiana is listed as a potential asbestos exposure site, but detailed public information about its operations, history, or specific activities is not available. There is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

AMF Beaird in Shreveport, Louisiana was a large heavy-fabrication plant known for producing pressure vessels, heat exchangers, LPG/propane storage tanks, and other welded plate products serving the oil, gas, chemical, and power sectors; the facility operated for decades under American Machine & Foundry (AMF) ownership and later as successor Beaird entities, employing welders, fitters, machinists, insulators, and maintenance crews across rolling, forming, blasting, coating, and boiler/shop operations. At AMF Beaird - Shreveport, LA, potential asbestos exposure could have occurred historically from asbestos-containing insulation and lagging on vessels and piping, high-temperature gaskets and packing, refractory materials in furnaces and boilers, welding blankets, and brake/cloth components on shop equipment, with airborne dust risks during cutting, grinding, repair, or removal work - especially before tighter controls became common in the late 1970s. The site has been frequently noted in asbestos exposure lists and litigation as a location where workers and contractors may have encountered asbestos. 

Amf Tubescope, Inc. in Harvey, Louisiana was associated with AMF Tuboscope's oilfield services that focused on cleaning, inspecting, and coating tubular goods (drill pipe, casing, and tubing) for Gulf Coast onshore and offshore operations; typical work at facilities of this type included pipe cleaning and straightening, threading, nondestructive testing (e.g., magnetic or electromagnetic inspection), and application of internal and external protective coatings. Given the era in which AMF Tuboscope operated extensively (mid-to-late 20th century) and the industrial nature of the site, asbestos-containing materials commonly used at comparable facilities - such as thermal insulation on ovens, boilers, and dryers, high-temperature gaskets and packing, and certain wraps or mastics - could present potential asbestos exposure risks to employees and contractors, particularly before stricter regulations in the late 1970s. While specific, detailed records for this Harvey, LA location are limited, its role in oilfield pipe inspection and coating places it among industrial settings where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

There is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

Amoco Refineries - Shreveport, LA is referenced as part of Amoco's petroleum operations in Shreveport, Louisiana, though specific public details about its operating dates and exact process units are limited; in general, Amoco refinery sites handled crude oil processing, utilities/steam generation, product storage, and terminal loading to supply local and regional markets, with work performed by operators, maintenance crews, and contractors. As with many U.S. refineries of the mid-20th century, asbestos-containing insulation, gaskets, and packing were commonly used on high-temperature equipment such as piping, boilers, furnaces, heat exchangers, pumps, and valves, creating potential asbestos exposure during routine work, repairs, and turnarounds - risks that were greatest before stronger controls were implemented in the late 1970s and 1980s at the Shreveport, LA location. 

There is no additional information available on Ampro Chem. Co. in Donaldson, LA, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

The site known as Amstar Corporation - Arabi, LA refers to the historic Domino Sugar refinery in Arabi, Louisiana (St. Bernard Parish), a major cane-sugar facility situated on the Mississippi River that receives raw sugar by ship and barge, refines it through evaporation, crystallization, and drying, and packages bulk and consumer products for distribution; the plant, long associated with the former American Sugar/Amstar corporate lineage and later operated under the Domino/ASR Group banner, has been a significant industrial employer and underwent substantial repairs and modernization after Hurricane Katrina-related flooding in 2005. As with many mid-20th-century heavy industrial and food-processing sites, operations at the Arabi, LA refinery historically relied on steam systems and heat-intensive equipment (boilers, evaporators, turbines, piping, gaskets, and insulation) where asbestos-containing materials were commonly used before stricter regulations and abatement programs took hold, meaning production workers, maintenance staff, pipefitters, insulators, and outside contractors could have faced potential asbestos exposure during routine work, repairs, or post-storm restoration, with risks diminishing as controls and remediation were implemented in later decades. 

The Amstar Corporation - Chalmette, LA facility was a major cane sugar refining and packaging plant serving the Domino Sugar brand, receiving raw sugar by river barge and ship and converting it into refined granulated, brown, and powdered sugars through melting, clarification/decolorization, crystallization in vacuum pans, drying, storage, and packaging; located in St. Bernard Parish near New Orleans, the refinery in Chalmette, Louisiana relied on extensive steam and heat systems (boilers, high - temperature piping, evaporators, dryers, and vacuum equipment), and like many mid - 20th - century industrial plants it likely used asbestos - containing insulation, gaskets, and packing, creating potential exposure risks for maintenance workers, pipefitters, insulators, boiler operators, and contractors - particularly before asbestos materials were phased out in the late 1970s and 1980s - with later operations continuing under successors to Amstar. 

The sugar refinery in Arabi, Louisiana - historically part of American Sugar Refining (later Amstar Corporation) and now associated with the Domino Sugar/ASR Group operation often called the Chalmette Refinery - has operated along the Mississippi River since the early 20th century, receiving raw cane sugar by ship and barge and converting it into granulated, powdered, liquid, and bulk products through affination, clarification, filtration, evaporation, crystallization, drying, screening, packaging, and bulk loading, supported by boilers, extensive steam systems, and maintenance shops; it is a major regional employer and resumed operations after hurricane-related disruptions in 2005. As with many industrial plants of its era, the facility likely incorporated asbestos-containing insulation and components on boilers, turbines, piping, gaskets, and pump packing, creating potential exposure risks - especially for pipefitters, insulators, boilermakers, maintenance crews, and contractors during installation, repair, or removal work prior to widespread abatement and modern controls - though current operations in Arabi, LA are governed by OSHA/EPA standards intended to manage such hazards. 

For Anchor Gasoline Corp. in Eola, LA, there is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

Anchor Gasoline Corp. in Eunice, Louisiana: There is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

Anchor Wate Co in Belle Chasse, Louisiana operated as an oilfield service location associated with drilling fluids and weighting materials, supporting Gulf Coast and offshore operations through the storage, blending, packaging, and distribution of bulk and bagged drilling mud additives. The Belle Chasse, LA facility's activities would have included handling barite and other common mud components, warehouse and yard logistics, and equipment maintenance typical of a mud plant or supply yard serving rigs and supply boats. Possible asbestos exposure at this site could have arisen historically from industry-wide uses before the 1980s, including asbestos-containing drilling mud additives employed for lost circulation control or sealing, as well as asbestos in gaskets, packing, pump and pipe insulation, transite panels, and brake and clutch linings on trucks and material-handling equipment; higher-risk tasks would have included tearing bags, mixing powders, sweeping cleanup, and maintenance work in enclosed areas. Regulatory changes and product substitutions substantially reduced such uses in later decades, but historical exposures could have occurred consistent with practices at similar oilfield service and drilling mud facilities. 

Anco Insulation Inc - Baton Rouge, LA is identified as an industrial insulation contractor serving refineries, petrochemical plants, and power and manufacturing facilities in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana corridor, with typical operations including mechanical/thermal insulation installation and maintenance on piping, vessels, and boilers, sheet-metal jacketing, scaffolding support, and fireproofing; while site-specific historical details are limited publicly, the nature of industrial insulation work - especially on older units built before the late 1970s - means possible asbestos exposure could have occurred when disturbing legacy asbestos-containing materials during maintenance, renovation, demolition, or abatement, although modern operations are expected to follow OSHA and EPA controls designed to minimize fiber release and protect workers and nearby trades. 

Anco Insulation, Inc. in Baton Rouge, Louisiana is associated with industrial and commercial mechanical insulation work supporting the region's petrochemical, refining, power, and construction markets, typically providing installation, maintenance, and replacement of thermal and acoustic insulation on piping, equipment, tanks, and vessels, often with sheet-metal jacketing and outage/turnaround support across the Baton Rouge, LA industrial corridor. Because insulation used in older Gulf Coast facilities historically included asbestos-containing materials, particularly before the 1980s, workers and contractors performing installation, removal, repair, or cleanup of legacy insulation at or through this location could have faced asbestos exposure if proper controls were not used, and residual asbestos in older structures may still require abatement during modernization or demolition activities. 

For Anco Insulation, Inc. in Kenner, Louisiana: There is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

Anco Insulation, Inc. in Metairie, Louisiana, has operated as a mechanical insulation contractor serving industrial and commercial customers in the greater New Orleans area, providing services such as installing, maintaining, and removing thermal insulation on piping, HVAC systems, and related equipment; from its Metairie, LA location, work was typically performed both in the field at client facilities and on construction projects. Because asbestos-containing insulation and cements were widely used in mechanical systems through the late 1970s and may still be encountered in older facilities, workers and nearby trades at Anco Insulation, Inc. - Metairie, LA job sites could have faced possible asbestos exposure when disturbing legacy materials during removal or modification activities, with risk reduced over time as the industry transitioned to non-asbestos products and modern exposure controls. 

Anco Insulations Inc. in Baton Rouge, Louisiana operates as an industrial and mechanical insulation contractor serving the region's refineries, chemical plants, power facilities, and other heavy-industry sites, providing installation, maintenance, and repair of insulation on piping, vessels, boilers, and ductwork, often alongside sheet - metal lagging, scaffolding support, and turnaround/outage services. Operations at the Baton Rouge, LA location typically center on field crews mobilized to customer facilities, project planning and materials logistics, and safety and quality control aligned with applicable OSHA and EPA requirements. Because the industrial insulation trade widely used asbestos-containing materials prior to the mid-1980s, insulation work in and around older facilities in the Baton Rouge area could have involved possible asbestos exposure for insulators and nearby trades, especially during removal or disturbance of legacy materials. Today, any remaining asbestos encountered in project scopes is generally managed under regulated abatement procedures, with engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and air monitoring to reduce risk 

Anco Insulations Inc. (aka ABER) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana is an industrial insulation contractor that supports the area's refineries, chemical plants, power producers, and other heavy industrial facilities with services such as installing, maintaining, and removing mechanical insulation on piping, vessels, boilers, and equipment, along with related scaffolding, sheet - metal lagging, heat tracing, and fireproofing during projects and plant turnarounds. As with similar Gulf Coast insulation operations, work performed by the Baton Rouge, LA location has historically intersected with legacy materials; before asbestos was largely phased out in the late 1970s-1980s, many high - temperature insulation products, insulating cements and block, as well as some gaskets and packing used in industrial settings contained asbestos. Accordingly, employees and contractors who installed, removed, or disturbed older insulation or associated components at this site or at client facilities could have experienced asbestos exposure, particularly during maintenance, demolition, or turnaround activities. Today, operations rely on non - asbestos materials and follow OSHA and EPA - compliant asbestos control procedures when legacy materials are encountered.

The Andrew Marschalk in New Orleans, LA refers to a World War II-era Liberty ship that operated as a cargo transport under the U.S. Maritime Commission, using the Port of New Orleans, Louisiana for outfitting, loading and unloading, and periodic maintenance during wartime and postwar service. Its operations primarily involved moving military supplies and general cargo, with dockside work and shipyard services performed during turnarounds and repair cycles in the New Orleans area. Like most Liberty ships of the period, the Andrew Marschalk was built with asbestos-containing materials in its boilers, steam lines, and reciprocating engine systems, as well as in gaskets, valve and pump packing, cement, and winch brake linings. These materials created potential asbestos exposure for engine-room crews and tradespeople - including insulators, pipefitters, machinists, boilermakers, electricians, and shipyard or longshore workers - especially when insulation was installed, removed, or disturbed during maintenance and repairs in New Orleans, Louisiana. 

For Andrew Moore - New Orleans, LA, there is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

The Angus Chemical facility in Sterlington, Louisiana is a long - standing ANGUS Chemical Company manufacturing complex that serves as a primary production hub for nitroalkanes (such as nitromethane, nitroethane, and 2 - nitropropane) and related specialty chemical intermediates used in coatings, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and personal care; operations typically include continuous nitration, hydrogenation, distillation, utilities support, and bulk packaging with truck and rail shipments to domestic and international customers. Originally developed in the mid - 20th century, the site has operated through various corporate ownership structures (including a prior period under The Dow Chemical Company) but has remained focused on nitroalkane chemistry and downstream derivatives, making Angus Chemical - Sterlington, LA a key asset in the company's global supply network. Because parts of the plant and its infrastructure date to eras when asbestos - containing materials were widely used in industry, potential historical asbestos exposure at this location could have arisen from thermal insulation on steam lines, boilers, heat exchangers, and turbines; asbestos - containing gaskets and valve packing; fireproofing; and maintenance or repair work that disturbed aging insulation, particularly affecting pipefitters, insulators, mechanics, and other trades before modern controls were implemented. Current operations are subject to federal and state regulations governing asbestos management and industrial hygiene, but legacy materials may persist in older systems and are typically managed under formal abatement and control programs.

Arizona Chemical - Branch Of International Pap - Oakdale, LA is identified as a branch location associated with International Paper's pine-chemicals operations, a business that historically recovered and refined kraft pulping byproducts - such as tall oil, rosin, and turpentine - into ingredients for adhesives, inks, rubbers, and coatings; facilities of this type typically employed distillation, blending, storage, and steam-driven processes and were often situated alongside or served nearby pulp and paper mills. At the Oakdale, Louisiana site, as with many pulp, paper, and chemical plants built or operating through the mid-to-late 20th century, asbestos-containing materials were commonly used for thermal insulation on boilers, dryers, evaporators, and steam lines, as well as in gaskets and valve/ pump packing, creating potential exposure risks for maintenance workers, pipefitters, insulators, operators, and contractors, with possible secondary exposure to family members via work clothing. Specific, detailed operational histories for this exact Oakdale, LA branch are limited publicly, but its listing among industrial sites reflects the types of processes and potential asbestos hazards typically present in Arizona Chemical and International Paper-affiliated operations of that era. 

Arizona Chemical Company in Oakdale, Louisiana: There is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

Arizona Chemical Company operated a pine-chemicals facility in Springhill, Louisiana that processed crude tall oil and other pine-derived byproducts from the kraft pulping industry into rosin, fatty acids, terpenes, and resin intermediates used in adhesives, inks, coatings, and rubber; operations at the Springhill, LA site included high - temperature distillation, blending, bulk storage, and shipping typical of pine - chemical and paper - adjacent plants historically associated with International Paper's chemicals business (Arizona Chemical was later integrated into Kraton's pine - chemicals portfolio). As with many mid - 20th - century pulp and chemical facilities, asbestos-containing insulation, gaskets, and packing were commonly used on boilers, steam lines, valves, pumps, and heated process equipment, so employees and contractors performing operations, maintenance, or repair work at the Arizona Chemical Company site in Springhill could have experienced asbestos exposure, particularly before modern regulations and abatement practices were implemented. 

The Arizona Chemical Plant - Springhill, LA was part of Arizona Chemical's network of pine-chemicals facilities, and at the Springhill, Louisiana location operations centered on processing byproducts of kraft pulping - especially crude tall oil - through distillation and fractionation to make tall oil fatty acids, rosin, and related resin intermediates used in adhesives, inks, coatings, and rubber; the site's background ties to Arizona Chemical's historical role as a former division of International Paper serving mills across the Southeast. Typical equipment and processes at the plant included storage tanks, distillation columns, heat exchangers, boilers, steam systems, and extensive piping and pumping systems to move and refine pine-derived feedstocks. As with many chemical and pulp-related facilities built or operating prior to the 1980s, asbestos-containing insulation, gaskets, and packing were commonly used on boilers, pipes, valves, and other high-heat equipment, creating the potential for airborne asbestos exposure during maintenance, repairs, and turnarounds for workers and contractors until materials were replaced and abatement controls were implemented.

Arkansas Louisiana Chemical Corp. in Shreveport, Louisiana was a subsidiary of Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company (Arkla) that operated during the mid-to-late 20th century, focusing on the production and distribution of nitrogen-based fertilizers and related industrial chemicals, with the Shreveport, LA location functioning primarily as corporate and administrative offices supporting manufacturing operations elsewhere in the region. At chemical-industry facilities and in older office buildings of this era, possible asbestos exposure could occur from thermal insulation on steam and process lines, boilers, heaters, and other high-temperature equipment, as well as from asbestos-containing gaskets, valve packing, refractory, and building materials such as floor and ceiling tiles; higher-risk tasks included maintenance, repair, and insulation removal performed by insulators, pipefitters, mechanics, electricians, and contractors, particularly before more stringent regulations and abatement practices took hold in the 1970s and 1980s. 

The Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company (Arkla) operated the Ruston Gas Plant in Ruston, Louisiana as part of its north Louisiana gathering, processing, and pipeline distribution network, where field gas was compressed, dehydrated (commonly using glycol units with reboilers), metered, and conditioned for delivery to Arkla's system and local residential, commercial, and industrial customers; facilities of this type often also performed gas treating and routine maintenance on compressors, heaters, piping, valves, and controls. Arkla later became NorAm Energy and ultimately part of CenterPoint Energy, with the Ruston, LA facility contributing to regional service reliability and supply management. Possible asbestos exposure at the Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company - Ruston Gas Plant could have occurred during periods when asbestos-containing materials were standard in the industry, particularly in thermal insulation, gaskets, packing, and refractory linings on hot process equipment such as reboilers, heaters, steam lines, and compressor components; operators, pipefitters, insulators, mechanics, electricians, and contractors performing maintenance, repairs, or turnarounds would have been at greatest risk where dust was generated. 

The Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company (often known as Arkla), a regional natural gas utility historically based in Shreveport, operated the Shreveport Gas Plant in Shreveport, Louisiana to support local gas supply and distribution. Plant functions for a utility facility of this type commonly included receiving and compressing pipeline gas, metering and odorization, heating and dehydration, and maintenance of extensive high-temperature piping and associated equipment; in earlier periods, some utility gas plants also used manufactured-gas or related processes before widespread pipeline supply. Typical equipment included boilers, heaters, compressors, pumps, valves, and heat exchangers. In the mid-20th century, such facilities frequently used asbestos-containing insulation, gaskets, packing, and refractory materials on pipes, boilers, and other hot equipment, creating potential asbestos exposure risks for operators, maintenance workers, pipefitters, insulators, and contractors during installation, repair, and removal. Site-specific incident details for the Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company - Shreveport Gas Plant are not publicly available, but it appears on lists of locations where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

The Arkansas Natural Gas Company - Drilling Site in Shreveport, Louisiana was associated with regional natural gas exploration and production in the Ark-La-Tex, supporting rotary drilling, well completion, and the gathering and transmission of gas to local markets around Shreveport; typical operations at an Arkansas Natural Gas Company drilling site included drilling mud mixing, casing and cementing, operation of pumps, compressors, and separators, and maintenance of gathering lines and related equipment. At this Shreveport, LA location, as with many mid-20th-century oil and gas sites, possible asbestos exposure could have occurred because asbestos-containing materials were commonly used in certain drilling mud additives, high-temperature gaskets and packing, and thermal insulation on compressors, heaters, and steam or process piping, with elevated risk during the mixing, cutting, or removal of these materials prior to stricter controls reducing use in the late 1970s and 1980s. 

The Arkansas Oak Flooring Company in Alexandria, Louisiana is included on asbestos exposure site lists, but detailed public information about the facility's history and operations in Alexandria, LA is not available.

Armour and Company's New Orleans, Louisiana facility was part of the national meatpacking firm's mid-20th-century network, serving the Gulf Coast as a processing, cold-storage, and distribution hub that received meat products, performed curing, packaging, and other handling, and shipped goods to regional markets via rail and port connections. Operations at such plants typically relied on steam and ammonia-based refrigeration systems with boilers, compressors, and extensive piping, along with packaging and warehouse equipment. As with many industrial food facilities built or expanded before the late 1970s, asbestos-containing materials were commonly used for pipe and boiler insulation, gaskets and packing, refractory cements, and building components such as roofing and floor tile, creating potential exposure risks during maintenance, equipment repair, insulation work, and later renovation or demolition at Armour And Company - New Orleans, LA. Workers most likely to have encountered asbestos would have included maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, insulators, engineers, and contractors who disturbed thermal insulation or older building materials. Specific operating dates and exact process details for the New Orleans, Louisiana site are not publicly documented, but its role within Armour's distribution system and the era's widespread use of asbestos indicate the potential for occupational exposure at this location. 

The Armstrong Contracting & Supply - New Orleans, LA branch was part of ACandS (formerly affiliated with Armstrong Cork Company), an industrial insulation contracting and supply firm that served industrial and marine customers in the Gulf Coast region from its New Orleans, Louisiana location. The company's operations typically included installing, removing, and supplying thermal insulation, pipe covering, block, cements, and lagging, and many of these materials contained asbestos through the mid- to late 1970s. At the New Orleans, LA site, workers such as insulators, pipefitters, boilermakers, laborers, and maintenance personnel, as well as nearby trades, could have experienced asbestos exposure during cutting, mixing, sawing, or disturbing old insulation, with potential secondary (take-home) exposure to family members. ACandS later entered bankruptcy and established a trust to address asbestos-related claims, reflecting the recognized risks from historical product use. Based on the nature of its work and era of operation, Armstrong Contracting & Supply in New Orleans, Louisiana is regarded as a potential location where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

Armstrong Contracting & Supply Corporation (later known as ACandS), part of the Armstrong Cork Company's contracting arm and later an independent industrial insulation contractor, operated in New Orleans, Louisiana as a regional base for mechanical and thermal insulation work at shipyards, refineries, chemical plants, powerhouses, and commercial facilities along the Gulf Coast. During the years when asbestos-containing pipe covering, block insulation, and insulation cements were widely used, crews from the New Orleans, LA operations installed, repaired, and removed these materials - tasks that could release asbestos fibers and expose insulators, pipefitters, boilermakers, maintenance workers, and nearby trades, with potential secondary exposure to others via contaminated clothing. The location's role in supplying and installing industrial insulation aligns with the company's broader national activities, and historical use of asbestos products at job sites served by the New Orleans location presents recognized occupational exposure risks. ACandS later faced extensive asbestos-related claims and entered bankruptcy proceedings that resulted in an asbestos personal injury trust, reflecting the hazards associated with its legacy insulation work. 

For Armstrong Cork Company - New Orleans, LA, there is no additional information available on this site, but it is on the list of sites where asbestos exposure may have occurred. 

The Army Ammunition Plant at Minden, Louisiana, commonly known as the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant, was established during World War II as a government-owned, contractor-operated facility that manufactured artillery propellants, explosive charges, and performed load-assemble-pack operations; it later supported storage, demilitarization, and disposal of munitions, with portions now functioning as Camp Minden under the Louisiana National Guard. Decades of operations and disposal activities left contamination characteristic of ammunition plants - residues from energetic compounds (such as TNT, DNT, and RDX), industrial solvents (including trichloroethylene), and metals - in soil and groundwater, resulting in federally managed cleanup and long-term monitoring at the Minden, LA site. Because the facility was built and expanded in the mid-20th century and used steam plants and extensive piping, asbestos-containing materials (for example, pipe and boiler insulation, gaskets, roofing, and fireproofing) were commonly present at similar industrial sites, creating the possibility of asbestos exposure for workers in maintenance, utility and production areas, as well as for contractors during renovation or demolition, with remaining materials handled under abatement and management controls during remediation.
