Veterans Exposed to Asbestos Near Burlington

Coast Guard Station Burlington of the U.S. Coast Guard was established in 1948. Its initial purpose was to serve as an attendant station as a seasonal unit. It was responsible for maintaining aids to navigation on Lake Champlain. Today, it enforces admiral laws and treaties, aids in navigation and marine environmental response and assists with search and rescue missions. While there was once ample commercial traffic on Lake Champlain, this has slowed while recreational boating in the area has increased significantly.

While the U.S. Coast Guard is a fraction of the size of the Navy, many Coast Guard servicemembers have been exposed to asbestos over the years because this material was rampant on vessels.
