: The purpose of this paper was to share information regarding the exposure resulting from using asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in the steel mills of the U. S. Steel Corporation from 1972–2006. The industrial hygiene reports were obtained from various sources including prior litigation from entities other than U. S. Steel. In March of 2021, Paustenbach and Associates was first retained on behalf of U. S. Steel in asbestos litigation and, at that time, original industrial hygiene reports were provided by outside counsel for the company. Dr. Paustenbach has served as an expert in asbestos litigation for various clients since 2000. No lawyers, nor the companies they represent, were involved in the analysis of the data or conclusions of the paper. The authors are solely responsible for the content of this paper.
: Ethical approval was not required for this paper. The data analysis performed in this paper was performed on industrial hygiene data that was recorded from 1972 through 2006. There were no experimental procedures performed on humans or animals.
