Toxic Exposures

Exposure to harmful chemicals is a real and present risk in modern day America. Individuals are exposed every day to unseen contaminants and pollutants. 

In some instances, individuals are exposed to harmful chemicals as a result of the negligent or unlawful leaking of pollutants by small and large corporations.  Some of these chemicals can severely damage the value of your property and in some instances your health.

While it would be impossible to list all the potential sources of chemical contamination, the following list will serve to illustrate typical contamination sources:

Exposure to harmful chemicals usually occurs when an individual either breathes, drinks, or touches the contaminant.  One of the most prevalent sources of exposure to toxic chemicals occurs when ground water is contaminated.  Ground water contamination usually arises when individuals have wells. In those circumstances, the ground aquifer is contaminated with the specific chemical or chemicals. This toxin then spreads in a plume and can contaminate local well water sources. Individuals that own the wells can then be exposed to the chemicals by drinking the water, bathing and washing with the water, and breathing steam from the water.

Besides damaging your land, exposure to contaminants can cause significant health effects.  The following is a short list of some of the physical and health problems that can result from chemical exposure.

If you believe that you have been subjected to a toxic exposure it is important that you immediately cease exposing yourself to the chemical.  For instance, if your groundwater is contaminated immediately switch to distilled or bottled water.  You should also contact your local environmental agency and inform them of the contamination.  It may also be prudent to retain legal representation at this time.
