Every day thousands of American employees face the danger of occupational illnesses caused by prolonged exposure to toxic chemicals often found in the work place.  Though, primarily found in manufacturing sites, exposure to hazardous chemicals can also occur in the home.  Harmful chemicals have the potential to pollute the air and water, causing a devastating effect on our natural environment.

While it may take months or years, repeated exposure to toxins that have been inhaled or absorbed into the body can have devastating effects on an individual’s health, with the most tragic instances leading to death. The list of short and long-term medical conditions associated with exposure to toxic substances is extensive, including some that may be potentially fatal.  Exposure to hazardous chemicals puts victims at risk for developing various forms of cancer, respiratory problems, headaches, fatigue, depression, brain damage, birth defects, and liver problems.
