	Oil refinery workers face one of the highest occupational asbestos exposure risks in American industry, with proportionate mortality ratios reaching 410% of expected deaths and maintenance workers showing mortality rates up to 30 times higher than the general population.<ref>[https://mesothelioma.net/asbestos-exposure-oil-refineries/ Asbestos Exposure in Oil Refineries], Mesothelioma.net</ref> The 2017 CDC analysis of malignant mesothelioma deaths ranked petroleum refining as the second highest industry among 207 occupational categories. A landmark 1991 study documented that approximately 90% of refinery workers had direct or indirect asbestos contact, with more than half of this exposure occurring without any protective precautions—creating a public health crisis that continues generating disease cases today.<ref>[https://www.mesotheliomalawyercenter.org/asbestos/exposure/ Asbestos Exposure], Mesothelioma Lawyer Center</ref>		Oil refinery workers face one of the highest occupational [[Asbestos Exposure\|asbestos exposure]] risks in American industry, with proportionate mortality ratios reaching 410% of expected deaths and maintenance workers showing mortality rates up to 30 times higher than the general population.<ref>[https://mesothelioma.net/asbestos-exposure-oil-refineries/ Asbestos Exposure in Oil Refineries], Mesothelioma.net</ref> The 2017 CDC analysis of malignant [[Mesothelioma\|mesothelioma]] deaths ranked petroleum refining as the second highest industry among 207 occupational categories.
