Toxic Emissions Lawyer

Toxic emissions are pollutants that contaminate the air, making it hazardous for people and wildlife in local communities to breathe. According to the American Lung Association, toxic emissions are most commonly produced by coal-fired power plants, industries, and refineries, as well as from cars, trucks, and buses. Though certain emissions are harder to detect, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified over 180 pollutants as hazardous for the general population. Some of the most common toxic emissions that our clients fall victim to are:

• Gases: The most common gases found as toxic emissions are hydrogen chloride, benzene or toluene, dioxin.
• Compounds: Asbestos, a smaller compound commonly found through demolition sites that have been poorly sealed off.
• Elements: Such as cadmium, mercury, and chromium.

Despite the fact that everyone is at risk from exposure to toxic emissions, there are many factors that ultimately determine how severely any toxin will affect one person or an at-risk community. These factors include the level, period, and frequency of exposure to the toxins. Like those individuals with a weaker immune system or those with lung damage, they may be more at risk of experiencing severe side effects. However, we highly recommend setting up an appointment with your doctor or a medical professional to determine whether or not you have been affected by toxic emissions. The most common side effects from exposure to toxic emissions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Nausea 
• Cancer
• Eye, nose, and throat irritation
• Difficulty in breathing
• Respiratory damage
• Reproductive systems damage
• Birth and developmental defects  

If you believe you are showing any of the symptoms listed above after exposure to toxic emissions, we urge you to seek immediate medical attention.
