| TOXIC SUBSTANCES .jpg) There are many toxic substances that can cause serious and potentially deadly consequences to anyone exposed. Toxic substances include fumigants, chemicals, and dangerous gases, to name just a few. We represent employees, union workers, and other individuals who have been unknowingly exposed to toxic substances. Some of the more common toxic substances include:
- Asbestos
- Benzene
- Environmental toxins
- Industrial solvents
- Lead-based paint
- MTBE
- Pesticides
- Toxic mold
Side effects of being exposed to toxic substances can include brain damage, nerve damage, birth defects, wrongful death, and other injuries. These harmful effects may be due to unregulated use of substances, improper disposal of substances that cause tainted waters and soils, or lack of better-developed alternatives to toxic substances.
