McMann, Air & Liquid Systems, Navy, Asbestos & Mesothelioma: A recent case in the United States District Court, W.D. Washington, Tacoma ruled on an appeal of a summary judgment motion.
The McMann, Air & Liquid Systems, Navy, Asbestos & Mesothelioma case documents what many navy vets and construction workers (e.g., union carpenter) may face today – past potential direct and secondary exposure to asbestos and mesothelioma. The court ruled on the motion.

A brief summary of the facts include:

- After Mr. McMann left the United States Navy, he began to work as a union carpenter apprentice.
- He worked on multiple jobs sites. He testified that the first job (after his military service) that he believed he was exposed to asbestos was when he helped build duplexes in Lacey, Washington in 1968.
- Mr. McMann testified that the next job site that he believed he was exposed to asbestos was at the Centralia Steam Plant (“CSP”), and it is that site that is the subject of this motion. (Worked close to the insulators putting insulation around the steam pipes)
