The Pohlman Foundry produced gray iron castings for compressors and pumps. The company’s customers were manufacturers of industrial and automotive parts. Lionheart Industries Inc. acquired the Pohlman Foundry in 1998 and in 2004, the company ceased operations completely.

The Pohlman Foundry consisted of one building that included small, medium and large mold areas; an office; a maintenance department; furnace and cupolas; and a finishing department. The finishing department’s walls were coated with asbestos insulation.

Unfortunately, many of our clients who worked at the Pohlman Foundry are now being diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma and lung cancer. Laborers in the finishing room had to work with blast units, grinders, and chipping stations. The blast units’ steel shots would hit the asbestos wall insulation, which would tear and consequently emit asbestos fibers into the air.

Asbestos is dangerous because its fibers are extremely fragile and break easily into tiny particles that your body’s air filtration system can’t trap and expel. When asbestos gets into your lungs and stays there, it can cause mesothelioma or lung cancer. Risk of diagnosis increases with the length of time that a person has been exposed although even short exposures can cause mesothelioma or lung cancer. The most common causes of asbestos exposure are in the workplace or from products in the home. Spouses and family members of workers can also be exposed to asbestos dust and fibers from the clothing the workers wore home from job sites like the Pohlman Foundry.

Mesothelioma is a rare disease that is diagnosed between 2,500 and 3,000 times each year. Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk for developing mesothelioma or lung cancer. Although most companies knew that asbestos was dangerous, they continued to allow their employees to work with and around asbestos without protective gear until the late 1970s.
