Our nation’s polluters are a constant threat to damage the public’s natural resources. The extent of the damage that these parties can cause, however, does not end with the harm they do to our environment. All too often, innocent citizens and employees can become ill when they are exposed to chemical and toxic substances in the home or at work. Exposure to these dangerous substances can result in serious life-threatening diseases, respiratory ailments, birth defects, and cancer.
Exposure to dangerous toxic chemicals in the workplace has a long and tragic history. That history’s first chapter is undoubtedly asbestos. Asbestos fibers were found to be heat resistant, which made them very useful for many industrial purposes. Insulation, roofing, and building materials were all made of asbestos. The durability of these asbestos fibers, however, meant that when they got into lung tissue, they remained for long periods of time. Those workers who were forced to have prolonged exposure to asbestos and other toxic chemicals began to suffer from what came to be known as “occupational diseases”. Silicosis, manganism, mesothelioma, and various forms of cancer are all examples of illnesses that are typical amongst employees who have prolonged exposure to California hazardous materials.
The list of Orange County toxic chemicals that we are exposed to does not end with asbestos, however. Industrial settings are notorious for having a variety of hazardous materials. Exposure to these toxic chemicals and hazardous substances can have devastating effects on the health of workers, and the symptoms of the illnesses may take years to manifest themselves. Some of the other Southern California hazardous materials workers often encounter include:
- Benlate
- Manganese
- Benzene
- Creosote
- MTBE
- Lead
- Perchlorate
- PFOA
Common symptoms amongst toxic chemical and hazardous material cases range in severity from birth defects, cancer, central nervous system problems, respiratory problems, gastrointestinal problems, liver problems, chronic fatigue, headaches, and memory loss. Due to the deadly health effects of these toxins and the substantial effect the resulting illnesses can have on the quality of life of the victims, it is important that an experienced California Toxic Chemical Attorney is consulted to represent your rights and insure the best possible result for your particular case.
