East Valley Asbestos Exposure History
Williams Air Force Base in Chandler (adjacent to Mesa) operated as a primary USAF pilot training facility from 1941 until its closure in 1993. Aircraft maintenance operations at Williams exposed mechanics to asbestos-containing brake systems and engine components. Falcon Field in Mesa trained military pilots during WWII and continues as a general aviation airport with legacy asbestos-containing hangar and facility construction. Motorola operated semiconductor manufacturing facilities in Mesa and the East Valley using asbestos-containing building materials in clean rooms and support facilities from the 1960s through the 1980s. Mesa's rapid post-war residential and commercial construction used asbestos building products extensively, creating exposure for construction and renovation workers.
