Central Hudson Gas & Electric’s Roseton Powerhouse is located on 992 River Road along the Hudson River. It was opened in 1974. The site was originally purchased from the Rose Brick Company (when purchased by Central Gas & Electric, it was renamed Roseton). Combustion Engineering boilers and 3600 RPM General Electric turbines offer power to the generating station. The 1,242 megawatt generating station can run on either fuel oil or natural gas.
Unfortunately, many of our clients who worked at Central Hudson Gas & Electric’s Roseton Powerhouse are now being diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma and lung cancer.
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 Roseton Powerhouse.
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.
