10 MISLEADING ANSWERS TO COMMON CANCER LAWSUITS QUESTIONS: DO YOU KNOW

Railroad Cancer

Railroads burn millions of gallons of diesel fuel in order to operate freight
trains across long distances. The highly toxic diesel exhaust is rich in
carcinogens including arsenic and benzene.

You could be entitled to compensation under the Federal Employers Liability Act
(FELA) when you're a railroad worker who has been diagnosed with cancer. Our
Houston railroad cancer lawyers will help you obtain fair financial compensation
for your suffering.

Benzene

Benzene is a solvent used in industrial processes and is found in the exhaust
from diesel engines. Many railroad workers, such as conductors, engineers,
machinists electricians, and conductors are exposed to diesel fumes.

One exposure to benzene can cause cancer in certain people. Specifically, it is
known to cause acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The cancer begins in the bone
marrow, and then spreads to blood. It is more common in men than it is for women
and could be fatal if left untreated.

The immune system can be damaged by benzene, which is why it's a risk. This can
lead to various health issues such as infections and a decreased capacity to
fight off germs. Benzene may also cause bone weakness and increase the risk for
arthritis.

Another serious issue that can be attributed to exposure to benzene is chronic
leukemia (CML). This kind of cancer begins in the bone marrow and then it
spreads to blood. It may also affect the spleen as well as other parts of your
body.

A study from 2015 found that even the smallest amount of benzene can increase
the risk of leukemia by 33. Researchers looked into the medical records of the
medical records of 25,000 Norwegian oil-rig workers who had been on the job for
more than 20 days.

Benzene is still utilized in a wide variety of industrial and commercial
operations despite the risks of exposure to it. There are ways to limit exposure
and prevent poisoning by benzene.


Wearing eye protection and appropriate clothes is one way to protect your eyes.
This will help prevent benzene from getting in the nose and eyes. You should
also wear a respirator whenever you can.

If you suspect you have been exposed to benzene, it is recommended that you must
immediately contact your doctor. This will help you identify any symptoms that
you may have and lower the risk of dying from benzene poisoning.

In addition to a range of different kinds of cancer, benzene can also impact the
brain. It can cause confusion and loss of memory. If you suffer from this
disorder, it can lead to a decline in your quality of life and make it difficult
for you to perform at home or in the workplace.

Asbestos

Asbestos is an extremely toxic mineral that has been proven to be the cause of
many serious illnesses including lung cancer as well as mesothelioma. It is
present in a variety of building materials, such as pipe insulation and floor
tiles.

As as a result, asbestos exposure is one of the greatest health risks to people
who work in the railroad industry. Railroad workers can become exposed to
asbestos-containing substances in a number of ways, and some of the most common
include:

One exposure to asbestos can lead to mesothelioma, or other life-threatening
cancers. These cancers may develop in the lungs, the mesothelium (the membrane
that covers the lungs) as well as the abdominal cavity.

The majority of people who have been exposed to asbestos fibers don't suffer
from any of the health issues that are associated with this chemical. The
majority of the fibers will be eliminated, or be transported away in a layer of
mucus that protects the lungs. There are a few asbestos fibers that can stay in
your lungs for years , or even for decades.

Although the effects on health of this condition can vary between individuals,
they can result in chest pain, breath shortness, difficulty breathing tightness
in the chest and chest pain. Other signs include difficulty swallowing and
weight loss.

Children who have been exposed to asbestos are at a higher chance of developing
mesothelioma, or another form of cancer because they are more likely to breathe
asbestos-containing fibers through their noses and mouths. Their lung's are
still developing.

They breathe at a faster rate, and because their lungs have a higher volume
ratio than adults', they will inhale more asbestos fibers.

Since they are more prone to inhaling harmful fibers, young children are at a
high chance of developing mesothelioma particularly when they've been in close
proximity to railroad cars. They are also at a higher risk of developing this
disease if they have an ancestor who has mesothelioma.

Creosote

Creosote was initially developed in the 19th century to guard wood from damage
caused by insects and rot. Railroad companies were capable of saving money by
reducing the cost of replacing wood. Creosote can still be used to treat wood
products today. It is also used for protection of log homes and marine pilings.

It is a toxic compound and has been linked to various cancers. These include
lung, esophageal and larynx cancers.

People who work in the wood preservation, asphalt and coke-production sectors
are particularly at risk. Chimney sweeps, and workers who perform physical
labor, such as rail track maintenance and construction, could also be exposed to
creosote.

Creosote exposure can cause irritation to the skin, eyelid convulsions and
spasms, as also chemical burns, convulsions, chemical burns, and
unconsciousness. It can also affect the lung and cause respiratory problems over
time, just like smoking cigarettes.

Creosote is a chemical that is made from coal tar . It can be taken in through
the skin. It can also be consumed through food that is contaminated or water.

Railroad workers are exposed to the toxins of creosote when they work close to
hazardous waste sites. These sites typically contain huge quantities of
creosote. This can contaminate soil, water and even air.

Rail workers might also be exposed to creosote when they work in the
wood-treatment industry. Many wood products such as fences and lumber are
treated with creosote.

Workers in these industries are often not protected with the proper equipment,
and this exposes workers to creosote as well as other poisons. This could lead
to serious health conditions, including cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Creosote is an oily liquid that is amber to black in color. It also has the
taste of burning and caustic. It is not a buoyant substance in water and has
specific gravity ranging from 1.037 to 1.087. It is a mixture of aromatic
polycyclic hydrocarbons, phenolic compounds, as well as other chemicals. The
most well-known form of creosote is coal tar, however other forms are also
available.

Diesel Exhaust

Diesel exhaust is a byproduct of combustion that is released into the air when
you operate vehicles with diesel engines. It can also be released from diesel
locomotives, farm and construction equipment, generators, ships and other
industrial equipment.

People who work with diesel exhaust are more at chance of developing cancer.
This is because they are frequently exposed to more of this substance than those
who work in other industries.

Long-term exposure to diesel exhaust can cause lung cancer in laboratory animals
such as rats. Diesel exhaust can cause DNA modifications in cells, making them
more susceptible to cancerous growth.

Studies of diesel exhaust in humans have also proven that exposure to heavy
amounts can lead to numerous health issues, including respiratory disorders like
emphysema and chronic bronchitis and blood system disorders like cancers of the
bladder, larynx (voice box) and stomach, esophagus and pancreas. Railroad
Workers have connected diesel exhaust to certain cancers of the prostate and
breast.

The American Cancer Society considers diesel exhaust to be carcinogen. It is
classified as such by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (part of
the World Health Organization).

People who work with big machines and engines, such as truck drivers and toll
booth operators may be at the highest risk of developing cancer because of the
exhaust of diesel. They could also be at high risk in the event that they spend
a significant amount of time in areas where heavy diesel traffic occurs such as
highways and cities.

Railroad workers who build and maintain tracks and yards can also be exposed to
diesel fumes when they work near diesel engines or other machines. The fumes can
be extremely dangerous if they enter the cabins of locomotives or other
machinery.

A study of laboratory rats showed that long-term exposure to diesel exhaust can
cause a variety of lung tumors and inflammatory changes. Certain of these tumors
were similar to lung adenocarcinoma. It is a form of cancer that occurs when the
lungs' cells expand rapidly and then become malignant.
