It can be years before the harmful effects of environmental toxins and pollutants manifest themselves as physical injuries. A child exposed to toxins as an infant may show behavioral issues, hearing problems, or brain damage later into childhood; a construction worker who comes into contact with asbestos on the job may develop lung cancer or mesothelioma decades later.
If you or your family have been injured by lead poisoning, asbestos exposure, pollution, toxic waste, or other chemicals, you deserve justice. At Cory Watson Attorneys, we are proud to fight to hold the companies who pollute our environment liable for the damage they cause.
Dangerous Toxic Exposure Is Common
Exposure to deadly toxins can happen in an instant and are much more common than you may think. The Occupational Safety & Health Administration estimates that 1.3 million workers are exposed to asbestos on the job. An additional 3 million workers are exposed to hazardous lead. Hundreds of thousands of American children are also exposed to lead and have dangerously high levels of the poison in their bloodstream.
If you think you may have been exposed to a toxic chemical, your symptoms will depend on the type of poison you came into contact with. The following toxic symptoms might affect your body’s major organ systems:
- Respiratory: coughing, choking, tight chest, irritation in the throat
- Gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting diarrhea
- Kidney: back pain, changes in urination
- Neurological: headache, dizziness, confusion, coma, convulsions
- Blood: tiredness, fatigue
- Dermatological: rashes, itching, redness, and swelling of the skin or eyes
- Reproductive: infertility, miscarriage, birth defects
