10 THINGS WE WE HATE ABOUT RAILROAD SETTLEMENT CLL

Benzene, Butadiene, and Other Carcinogens on the Railroad

Many railroad workers are exposed to carcinogens such as benzene, and other
compounds. If you have developed a serious illness like leukemia, you may be
entitled to compensation.

Leukemias originate in blood-forming tissues like bone marrow, and lymphatic
tissue. CLL (chronic lymphocytic Leukemia) is one of four major forms of adult
leukemia.

Benzene

Benzene is a gas that can be breathed in, or absorbed through the skin. It is a
by-product of oil that is used in the production of nylons, plastics, and
synthetic fibers. It is also used in lubricants dyes, detergents, paints,
pesticides, and other drugs. It is a recognized carcinogen that can cause
leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) myelodysplastic disorders and
lymphomas.

Railroad workers are exposed to benzene from the use of mineral spirits,
solvents, and degreasers. They are also frequently exposed to exhaust fumes and
diesel fuel when working on freight cars, locomotives and other railway
equipment. Railroad workers face a high chance of developing chronic lymphocytic
cancer due to this exposure.

Numerous epidemiologic studies have shown an increase in leukemia risk as a
result of an increase in exposure to benzene. A meta-analysis of 22 studies has
provided a summary of the effects of benzene on AML, Acute Lymphocytic
Leukemia(ALL) and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia(CLL).

The meta-analysis reveals that occupational exposure to benzene increases the
chance of developing these leukemias. The results for AML, CLL and ALL were
lower. This may be due to a lower percentage of reporting for the two subgroups,
and also due to the absence of dose-response relationships that increase
exposure. The meta-analysis didn't find any evidence of bias in publication.

Asbestos

Asbestos is a fibrous mineral is used to create a variety of industrial
products. Its resistance to fire, heat, and corrosion was a major reason for its
use for railroad locomotives as well as other equipment. Asbestos poses a threat
to those who handle it. When exposed to asbestos asbestos fibers, they can be
broken down into tiny pieces that then become airborne. When inhaled, they can
become lodged in the lungs. These can cause a number of serious illnesses, such
as mesothelioma.

When asbestos fibers are introduced into a person's lungs, they can irritate the
lining of the lungs. This irritation can cause an increase in collagen that
hardens over time and creates plaques in the pleura. This condition can lead to
chest pain and breathing difficulties.

Another type of lung damage caused by asbestos exposure is fibrosis, which forms
scar tissue that can hinder breathing capacity of an individual. This condition
could be fatal if untreated.


If you are a railroad worker who was diagnosed with an asbestos-related illness
and you are concerned about it, contact an FELA attorney immediately. A
mesothelioma attorney can help you file for compensation. To be lung cancer
lawsuit settlements to claim compensation you must prove that exposure to toxic
substances at work caused your illness. FELA lawyers frequently work with
industrial safety experts called industrial hygienists who review the materials
in the railroad workplace and determine whether the railroad company followed
proper occupational safety practices.

Diesel Exhaust

Diesel exhaust is one of the numerous carcinogenic fumes and substances that
railroad workers are exposed to on a daily basis. Exposure to diesel exhaust has
been linked to lung cancer and other serious occupational diseases among
railroad workers, including mesothelioma and pulmonary fibrosis. Inhaling the
engine exhaust and particulates could cause chronic health issues that may be
difficult to treat.

Locomotives run on diesel fuel and the cab of a locomotive is a small space with
a limited amount of ventilation. Diesel exhaust can be inhaled by railroad
employees, and can be dragged onto them and their clothing after they exit the
locomotive cab. Railroad workers who work in shops, yards, and yards could also
be exposed to diesel exhaust, since they are often in contact with locomotives
and train equipment.

Diesel exhaust is full of mutagenic and cancerous compounds that can get into
the bloodstream. These chemicals can cause damage to the respiratory system as
well as blood, as well as the bone marrow. In a research study that analyzed
several hundred workers who were frequently exposed to diesel exhaust,
researchers discovered that those who had the longest duration of exposure were
at risk for the most lung cancer.

Lung cancer mortality was significantly higher in railroad workers exposed to
diesel exhaust, despite controlling for smoking-related death rates and other
factors. The Lyon Firm is investigating a number of complaints from railroad
workers who were sickened by frequent exposure to diesel exhaust and solvents,
as well as other industrial toxic exposures.
