Ohio ranks among the states with the most asbestos-related deaths, a result of its massive industrial base spanning steel production, automotive manufacturing, rubber and tire production, and chemical processing. The steel mills along the Mahoning River Valley in Youngstown, the Republic Steel and LTV Steel operations in Cleveland, and the Armco Steel works in Middletown used asbestos insulation extensively on furnaces, ladles, and rolling mill equipment. The rubber and tire industry in Akron — home to Goodyear, Firestone, B.F. Goodrich, and General Tire — exposed workers to asbestos used in tire manufacturing, brake linings, and factory insulation. The General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler assembly plants throughout the state used asbestos in automotive components and facility insulation. Ohio's chemical industry, including operations by Procter & Gamble, Dow Chemical, and others in Cleveland, Cincinnati, and along the Ohio River, used asbestos in processing equipment. The Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, a uranium enrichment facility, contained extensive asbestos materials. Power plants operated by American Electric Power, FirstEnergy, and other utilities used asbestos throughout the state. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton is a major military installation with a history of asbestos use. Ohio's two-year statute of limitations from discovery requires prompt legal action upon diagnosis.
