Myelodysplastic Syndrome Lawsuit
If you suffer from MDS your bone marrow makes less healthy blood cells. These blood cells include red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells.
Your bone marrow produces blood stem cells. They transform into abnormal cells that produce the wrong types of blood cells. The cells that are defective die or are destroyed by your body.
Workplace Benzene Exposure
Benzene exposure can lead to the development of a blood-borne disease known as myelodysplastic syndrome mds Syndrome settlement (click here for more) Syndrome (MDS). MDS is an illness in which unmature blood cells develop, but fail to transform into healthy blood cells. If MDS is not treated it could develop into a leukemia referred to as acute myelogenous lymphoma (AML).
AML is distinct from other cancers since it affects only specific types of white blood cells, or blood platelets. It is believed that exposure to benzene in the workplace can be the cause of AML.
Factory sites, such as gas stations that manufacture glues, paints, and cleaners and cleaners and detergents can employ workers who are exposed to benzene. Employees in these businesses are typically exposed to benzene via vapors and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has established the safest level of benzene exposure within the air for Myelodysplastic Syndrome Settlement an eight-hour workday at 1 part per million parts of air (1 ppm).
Numerous studies have linked benzene in the workplace to a higher risk of myelodysplastic syndrome caused by railroad how to get a settlement syndrome. They include three nested case control studies of refinery, petroleum distribution and upstream workers in Canada (11) and the United Kingdom (12), and a study of railroad trackmen, maintenance of way employees and locomotive machinists from Australia. The studies used information on work history collected by trained interviewers and utilized exposure estimates based on jobsite activities like transportation of fuel, chemical composition of products, facility-specific equipment, and the working environment variables.
Diesel Fuel Exposure
The process of burning diesel fuel produces fine soot particles that can reach deep into the lungs. These small particles carry cancer-causing substances into the bloodstream and deposit them in various tissues, including the bone marrow in which the new blood cells are created. The presence of these harmful chemicals can cause Hematologic cancers, such a Myelodysplastic Syndrome railroad settlements syndrome as well as acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Diesel exhaust may also cause respiratory illnesses such as asthma and respiratory infections. Diesel fumes may also cause cardiovascular problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
Benzene is found in gasoline and diesel fuel, as well as in chemical solvents, degreasers and paints and thinners. Railroad workers have been exposed to benzene by exposure to diesel fumes as well as through the use of benzene-containing products like solvents, thinners and paints on engines and other equipment.
Anyone who lived or worked in Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 for at minimum a month is able to sue the federal government under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act. This includes veterans and their families. To be eligible for benefits, victims must show proof of service and pay stubs proving that they were on the military base during the years of eligibility. They must also submit medical records showing their current diagnosis of Myelodysplastic Syndrome as well as any other diseases or health conditions they believe are connected to their experience at Camp Lejeune.
Welding Fumes
When metal vapor is released during welding, it turns into tiny particles. These are too small for us to be seen with the naked eye, but they combine to form a visible plume of fumes that welding employees who are close to them can inhale. The fumes that are produced by welding contain a variety of different elements that can be toxic in high levels. Metals like these can cause short-term illnesses such as "metal vapor fever" and long-term effects, such a lung problems and death.
The particular risks are based on the welding process used and the type of material used to be welded. For example exposure to iron oxide during welding produces fumes that can damage the lungs and produce siderosis. Other metals present in welding fumes have been found to damage the kidneys, nervous system and digestive tract. Manganese, chrome, and soluble copper are also toxic at high concentrations.
It is difficult to control the exposure of welding fumes because the generation rate depends on the composition of the electrode and material used. Even adjusting voltage and current can only have a minimal effect. The best way to avoid excessive exposure to welding fumes to perform regular hazard assessments and make sure you are wearing the proper PPE and procedures for working.
It is important to note that the COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations were replaced by WELs on the 6th of April 2005. This means that some of the old OESs are not converted to WELs and individual components need to be monitored.
Railroad Exposure
Railroad workers exposed to benzene while on their job are at greater risk of developing leukemia or MDS. Benzene is present in diesel fuel and in the exhaust which railroad workers breathed while loading or unloading tanker trucks. Benzene has been used historically in the car and locomotive shops department as a paint thinner, vapor degreaser and a solvent for breaking bolts. While working on locomotives brakes engines, brake lubricants and railcars, railway workers like machinists, locomotive pipefitters, electricians and others breathed in fumes from benzene. The benzene vapors were inhaled by railroad workers who used a Safety-Kleen part washer, CRC Brakleen or similar products to clean their work areas.
MDS develops when the blood-forming cells in your bone marrow grow abnormally. This results in lower levels of red blood cells (anemia) as well as platelets and white blood cells. In some cases, these conditions develop into acute myeloid leukemia or other types of cancer.
A doctor Myelodysplastic Syndrome Settlement can determine MDS after taking a sample from your bone marrow for examination under microscope. MDS is characterized by fatigue, weakness and shortness of breath. If you're diagnosed with MDS your doctor may order a blood test in order to determine the amount of white and red blood cells and platelets.
If you worked as railway worker and you were diagnosed with MDS, AML or another kind of blood disorder, contact us to discuss how we can help. Our lawyers have experience taking on FELA lawsuits as well as other claims against the railroad industry for their negligent actions. Call today.
