During the Diesel Exhaust Fluid manufacturing process, it's combined with other materials and then heated by a catalytic converter in order to produce ammonia and isocyanic acid.

Asbestos

Asbestos, a heat-resistant and fire-resistant mineral, was frequently inhaled by railroad workers. It was extensively used in various rail-related equipment, such as trains and locomotives. When these products degrade and become brittle, they release tiny microscopic asbestos fibers into the air. When these fibers enter the air they can trigger serious lung diseases, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis.

Some states have specific statutes regarding the types of damages that may be granted in a wrongful death case. Others leave it open.

As we mentioned above, FELA gives victims of lung cancers and other work-related illnesses, such as obstructive lung disease, the opportunity to hold railroad corporations accountable. However, sometimes the worst adverse health effects don't become evident until 20-30, or even 40 years after a person has quit working on the railway.
