Buffalo's "Asbestos Alley" didn't get its name by accident.

For decades, workers in Western NY's steel mills and chemical plants were never warned about the invisible danger they brought home on their clothes. Today, their families continue to pay the price.

The fibers don't disappear when factories close. They remain in aging buildings, in the soil, and in the air. Silent and deadly, taking 20-50 years to show their actual impact.

Erie and Niagara counties report asbestos mortality rates significantly above the national average. This isn't history. This is happening now.

If you or someone you love lived or worked in Buffalo's industrial areas, routine screenings could save your life. Early detection matters.
