Asbestos Contamination at Illinois Beach State Park

"The Illinois shoreline and Illinois Beach State Park have a long history of asbestos contamination,... For at least 20 years, asbestos fibers were released daily and carried southward by Lake Michigan's currents from the Johns-Manville Asbestos Superfund site... adjacent to the south end of Illinois Beach State Park." - excerpt from this ENS article.
