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.
