Due to the fact that continuous heat was passing on a constant basis through the valves of machineries, a solution had to be found in order to strengthen these parts. Up until the 1970’s, asbestos was seen as a low cost solution and it started being included in the lining of valves.
In the case of asbestos lined valves it was very probable for asbestos particles to break off due to the flow of high pressure steam and extreme heat. You could have been exposed if:
