	The manufacturing environment itself amplified exposure. Industrial mixers combined raw asbestos with binders, resins, and other materials through mechanical agitation that dispersed fibers throughout entire facilities. Forming, pressing, and curing operations generated additional dust at each production stage. Cutting and finishing operations — particularly sawing asbestos-cement products and grinding brake linings — created fiber concentrations documented at '''50 times above OSHA thresholds'''.<ref>[https://www.mesotheliomalawyercenter.org/asbestos/ What Is Asbestos? \| Asbestos Exposure Risk and Mesothelioma], Mesothelioma Lawyer Center</ref>		The manufacturing environment itself amplified exposure.
