Know Your Rights If You Have Been Exposed To Chemical Fumes At Work

Workers sometimes discover too late that their workplace is hazardous to their health. Lead dust, fumes and exhaust, asbestiform fibers, insecticides, benzene, mercury, solvents, burning plastics, and smoke are just a few substances that can damage the lungs and get into the bloodstream and the brain. Some of these substances are known carcinogens. The result of these fumes and chemicals can be malignant, disabling and even fatal.

Some industries are well-known for the environmental dangers they routinely present to workers. These include:

  • Agriculture industry
  • Chemical plants
  • Factories
  • Refineries
  • Meatpacking industry
  • Trucking industry
  • Railroad industry
  • Remodeling industry

“Bad air,” leading to COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and other lung problems, can occur in any setting, including office setting.
