02. Asbestos in Workplaces
石棉暴露in New Mexico Workplaces
In addition to the abundance of natural asbestos deposits, workers throughout the state were at risk of exposure on their job sites in many different industries.
Oil Refineries:
The oil and gas industries are very important to New Mexico, and the state has been a major producer of oil since the 1920s, and combined employ approximately 11,000 workers. The intense industrial process of refining crude oil into products like petroleum requires high heat and chemical processes. As such, asbestos was used throughout their facilities and equipment because of its durability and resistance. Giant Refining and Navajo Refining were both known to use asbestos, meaningtheir workers are at risk of exposureand asbestos-related diseases.
Power Plants:
发电厂和其他许多工业建筑constructed before the 1980s are likely to contain asbestos materials, like asbestos insulation.

United Nuclear Corporation with headquarters in Gallup and Albuquerque Gas & Electric Company inAlbuquerque依靠其设施中的石棉。
Mining:
尽管新墨西哥州没有任何活跃的石棉矿，但全州其他地点的矿工发现了痕量的矿物质。新墨西哥州环境部在其他矿物质中指出了在石灰石，滑石和铜矿床中的发现。即使使用少量的矿物质，损坏任何现有的石棉也可能导致这些工人的曝光率。菲尔普斯道奇采矿，奇诺矿公司和卡尔斯巴德的Kerr McGee Potasa矿都遇到了矿产。
Railroad:
Railroad workers在石棉暴露的风险,因为也吗the extensive use of asbestos on steam trains. Everything from the gaskets to the engine room often relied heavily on products containing asbestos because of its extreme heat resistance. A.T. and Santa Fe Railway System and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad are two sites known to contain the toxin.
军队：
