Not only shipbuilders, but those ships and the port Crews (those who take the ship) was also much affected by asbestos. In fact, before 1980, even many of asbestos longshoremen loaded to ships. Before that, the health risks associated with asbestos is not known by the workers and not have special measures taken to prevent inhalation. Therefore, many shipyard workers run the risk of increasing the development of mesothelioma or other asbestos-related disease.
