Railroad Settlements and Asbestos
In 1862, Congress passed The Pacific Railroad Act. This law helped to fund two transcontinental railroad companies through large grants for rights-of way. Railroad workers who contract cancer because of workplace exposures can sue their employers under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA).
A jury in Illinois handed $7.5 million to an ex- Union Pacific Trackman who died of acute myeloid Leukemia. He blamed his blood-cancers on exposure to creosote compounds like benzene and others used to protect wooden railroad settlement throat cancer ties.
Creosote
Coal tar Creosote, a wood preserver, can be employed to shield railroad settlement aml ties from heat, sun and cold, rain and snow. When applying coal tar creosote, workers are exposed to a wide range of toxic chemicals and solvents such as benzene. Benzene is a well-known carcinogen causes leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, as with other serious consequences like heartbeat changes, convulsions liver damage, anemia and cancers of the lung and the body.
Our lawyers have successfully prosecuted numerous lawsuits against Union Pacific Railroad for exposure to coal-tar creosote. One of these cases culminated in a $7.500,000 verdict. The plaintiff was a track staffer who was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia due to exposure to the toxic chemical compound on his job over 31 years. The jury determined that the railroad did not provide him with personal protective equipment and exposed him to a variety of toxic chemicals, including coal-tar tar creosote and coal tar distillates.
Another case involved the use of copper naphthenate an alternative to creosote made of coal tar. While copper naphthenate isn't as environmentally harmful than creosote is, it can still be extremely dangerous. Copper naphthenate can cause skin, lung and nerve damage to nerves, skin and Railroad Settlement Throat Cancer the lung. It also has the potential to contaminate soil and groundwater with benzene.
Benzene
A colorless liquid petroleum hydrocarbon benzene is used in production of resins, plastics nylon, synthetic fibers and other. It is also used in diesel fuel and exhaust. The majority of railroad settlement multiple myeloma workers are exposed to diesel fumes on a daily basis. Benzene is a known carcinogen that has been linked to leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
There is no safe exposure to benzene. It can be breathed in or absorbs through the surface of the skin. Long-term exposure can damage the bloodstream and cause health problems, including menstrual irregularities, anemia and fertility problems. The chemical benzene has been linked to certain types of cancer, including breast and lung cancer.
Inhaling benzene inhalation is the most hazardous. Inhaling benzene may cause dizziness, headaches nose bleeds, dizziness and loss of consciousness. It can also affect your immune system and cause infections.
A recent report revealed the elevated levels of benzene in the air around two Chicago train stations. Commuters railway workers, commuters and city residents were exposed to excessive levels of pollution. Schools halted classes and cities demanded residents to seek shelter. railroad settlement pancreatic cancer workers, like car department employees and electricians, locomotive mechanics and pipefitters, use products that contain benzene such as Safety-Kleen part washers, CRC Brakleen, as well as paints thinners, paints and other items. Benzene can also be found in printing solvents.
Asbestos
The use of asbestos in the railroad settlement colon cancer industry started early. Asbestos is a class of six naturally occurring fibrous silicate minerals that were once very popular in construction for their fire-retardant as well as their corrosion-resistant, fire-retardant and insulate properties. Inhaling these particles can cause serious health problems like lung cancer and asbestosis. These health conditions can take up to 30 years before symptoms show up.
The EPA has prohibited the mining and processing of asbestos in this country However, asbestos is used in a variety of products. This includes certain kinds of flooring felt, paper and fake fire embers. However, when these products are exposed to heat or water they can release toxic asbestos fibers. These fibers may also get into the air when buildings are destroyed or when homes are remodeled.
A recent study has found that even a five-year exposure to benzene can significantly increase a person's risk for developing acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Consult your doctor if you experience symptoms such as night sweats or an unprovoked weight loss. They can conduct an examination of your blood to look for AML.
The EPA recently settled a case against Genesee & Wyoming Railroad Services Inc. (GWRSI). GWRSI operates locomotives which emit nitrogen oxides as well as fine particulates (PM2.5) when they operate on diesel fuel. This EPA settlement requires GWRSI to replace any of its current locomotives with new ones that meet EPA emission standards.
Diesel Exhaust
As long as diesel fuel is used to power railroads, workers will remain exposed to exhaust. Diesel exhaust is a mixture of toxic chemicals which include carcinogens such benzene monoxide and formaldehyde. It also contains particulate matter, polyaromatic hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.
In reality the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified diesel exhaust as a class 1 carcinogen. Moreover, diesel exhaust is an underlying cause of respiratory disease in the form of bronchiopulmonary disorders such as chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) and bronchiectasis. An article published in Environmental Health Perspectives in 2006 connected the work of railroad workers to COPD rates.
If railcars and locomotives are running and idle, they emit diesel exhaust. The machines and engines that are idle emit gases in addition to diesel fumes, which include sulfur dioxide and Railroad Settlement Throat Cancer nitrogen oxides.
Diesel exhaust fumes can be indistinguishable in locomotive cabs where conductors and engineers spend up to six hours each day. The engine and equipment emit more diesel exhaust fumes when workers enter and leave the cabins. This can cause pulmonary and cancerous problems.
In roundhouses with poor ventilation, shops and workshops railroad mechanics face a high level of exposure to diesel exhaust. They work with locomotives and track equipment in closed spaces that are often contaminated with inhalants, including asbestos-insulated steam boilers and steam pipes and silica sand.
