	The foundry industry's reliance on asbestos for heat protection created exposure throughout the metalcasting process. Molten metal operations required workers to wear asbestos protective equipment while working in close proximity to furnaces, ladles, and casting areas. Pattern makers encountered asbestos in core binders and molding materials. Furnace operators worked with refractory linings and insulation containing asbestos. Like [[Steel Mill Workers]] and [[Glass Manufacturing Workers]], foundry workers operated in high-temperature industrial environments where asbestos was considered essential for thermal protection. [[Boilermakers]] and maintenance personnel who serviced foundry equipment created additional bystander exposure when disturbing insulation. The combination of direct protective equipment exposure and environmental contamination meant foundry workers accumulated significant cumulative asbestos exposure over careers spanning decades. Over $30 billion remains available in 60+ active asbestos trust funds, with average industrial worker settlements ranging from $1-1.4 million.
