While the number of asbestos-related deaths has decreased considerably over the years, according to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), nearly 10,000 deaths still occur in the U.S. annually as a result of asbestos-related diseases. From 1940-1979, EWG estimates that around 230,000 deaths were caused by asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma. More than 30 million tons of asbestos were used in U.S. homes, schools, commercial buildings, and in the industrial sector during this time. In the industrial sector, the substance was used in power plants, shipyards, and steel mills.
