Many substances may be toxic and can 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. However, in 1978, Congress banned the use of lead-based paint when it was determined that it caused damage to the brain and nervous system resulting in behavior and learning problems, slowed growth, hearing problems, high blood pressure, and memory and concentration loss.

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 also been known to cause other serious life threatening diseases and have even caused death in New York. Contact your New York Personal Injury Lawyers to learn more about your legal options when exposed to severe amounts of New York toxins and/or pollutants.
