Toxic Exposure Injuries

Many substances may be toxic and cause serious illness to those who come in contact with them. In the early 1980s, the government announced a link to serious illnesses caused by the toxicity of asbestos. This substance was found to cause diseases of the respiratory system, including lung disease and lung cancer. Similarly, lead-based paints were commonly used in the 1950s and 1960s.

There are many sources of toxins and pollutants. Besides asbestos and lead, pesticides and certain molds can also pose serious health risks. Symptoms can range from simple eye and skin irritations to more serious damage to the nervous, hormonal, and immune systems. Depending on the level of toxicity and length of exposure, toxins and pollutants have caused other serious, life-threatening diseases and death.
