CANCER LAWSUITS ISN'T AS TOUGH AS YOU THINK



April 12, 2023

 Railroad Cancer Railroads utilize millions of gallons of diesel fuel to
transport freight trains over long distances. This extremely harmful diesel
exhaust is high in carcinogens including arsenic and benzene. You may be
eligible for compensation under Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) when
you're railroad worker who has been diagnosed as having cancer. Our Houston
railroad cancer lawyers will help you obtain fair financial compensation for
your suffering. Benzene Benzene, an industrial solvent, can be found in the
exhaust of diesel fuel. Many railroad workers, including conductors, engineers,
machinists, electricians, are exposed to diesel fumes. Some people may develop
cancer from one exposure to benzene. Particularly, it is known to cause acute
myeloid leukemia (AML). The cancer starts in the bone marrow and spreads into
the blood. It is more prevalent in men than it is in women and is fatal if it is
not treated. The dangers of benzene stem from the fact that it can damage the
immune system. This can lead to various health issues like infections and a
lower capacity to fight off germs. Benzene may also weaken bones and increase
the risk of arthritis. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a serious consequence
of benzene. This form of cancer begins in the bone marrow and grows into blood.
It may also affect the spleen as well as other organs in your body. A study in
2015 found that even low levels of benzene increases the risk of developing
leukemia by three-quarters. Researchers looked into medical records of more than
25,000 Norwegian oil crew members who worked for at least 20 days. Benzene is
still used in a variety of industrial and commercial operations despite the
dangers of exposure to it. Fortunately, there are ways to limit exposure to
benzene and prevent poisoning. One option is to wear appropriate clothes and
eyewear that is protected. This will stop benzene from entering the nose and
eyes. A respirator should be used whenever possible. When you suspect that you
have been exposed to benzene, it is recommended that you must contact your
doctor right away. This will help identify any symptoms you might be suffering
from and help reduce your chances of death from benzene poisoning. In addition
to a variety of cancer types in addition, benzene may also affect the brain. It
can cause confusion and loss of memory. This can lead to a decline in the
quality of life, making it difficult to perform at work or at home. Asbestos
Asbestos is a poisonous mineral that has been proven to cause a variety of
serious diseases such as lung cancer and mesothelioma. It is found in a variety
of materials used in construction, such as pipe insulation and floor tiles. As
consequently, asbestos exposure is one of the most serious health risks for
those working in the railway industry. Railroad workers can be exposed to
asbestos in a variety of ways. Here are a few of the most commonly used: One
exposure to asbestos can lead to mesothelioma and other life-threatening
cancers. The cancers, which form within the lungs or in the membrane that covers
the lungs and abdominal cavity (the mesothelium), are often fatal. The majority
of people who have been exposed to asbestos fibers don't be affected by any of
the health issues that are related to this substance. Most fibers are released
through coughing or in the form of mucus. This helps protect the lung. There are
asbestos fibers which can stay in the lungs for many years or even for decades.
Although the health effects of this condition are different from person to
person, they can cause chest discomfort, shortness of breath trouble breathing,
tightness in the chest, and chest pain. Other symptoms include trouble
swallowing or weight loss. Children who have been exposed to asbestos are at a
higher risk of developing mesothelioma or another form of cancer, because they
are more likely to breathe asbestos-containing fibers through their mouths and
noses. Their lungs are still developing. They breathe at a quicker rate, and as
their lungs have a greater volume to surface ratio than adults', they are able
to inhale more asbestos fibers. Young children are more likely to breathe in the
harmful fibers than adults and are particularly at risk if they have been in
close proximity to railroad cars. They also are at an increased risk of
developing this disease when they have relatives who has mesothelioma. Creosote
Creosote was initially developed in the 19th century in order to protect wood
from insect and rot damage. Railroad companies were able to save money by
reducing the expense of replacing wood. Creosote can still be used to treat wood
products today. It can also be used for protection of log homes and marine
pilings. It is a toxic chemical and has been linked to a variety of cancers.
These include esophageal and lung cancers, and larynx cancers. The health risks
of creosote-related exposure are especially significant for those working in the
wood preservation, coke production and asphalt industries. People who work in
physical labor such as rail track maintenance or construction work, such as
chimney sweeps, can also be exposed. Creosote exposure can lead to irritation of
the skin and eyes, chemical burns, eyelid spasms convulsions and mental
confusion, kidney problems, unconsciousness, and death. It can also affect the
lung and cause respiratory issues over time, similar to smoking. Railroad Cancer
Lawyer , a chemical, is made from coal tar . It is able to be inhaled through
the skin. It can also enter the body through food items that are contaminated
and water. Railroad workers are exposed to creosote whenever they work near
hazardous waste sites. These sites often contain large amounts of creosote and
could contaminate water, soil and air. Rail workers can also be exposed to
creosote if they work in the wood treatment industry. Many wood products,
including fences and lumber, are treated with creosote. They are usually not
protected by protective equipment that could expose them for creosote or other
toxic substances. This can cause serious health problems, including chronic
fatigue syndrome and cancer. Creosote is an oily liquid that is amber to black
in color and possesses an acidic, burning taste. It is not buoyant in liquids
and has an SG of 1.037 to 1.87. It is a mixture of polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons and phenolic compounds, as well as other chemicals. While coal is
the most commonly used form, various forms of creosote are also available.
Diesel Exhaust Diesel exhaust is a by-product of fuel combustion that is
released into the air when you operate vehicles equipped with diesel engines.
Diesel exhaust can also be released by diesel locomotives and farm equipment,
construction equipment generators, and other industrial equipment. Diesel
exhaust workers could be at greater risk of developing cancer. This is because
they are frequently exposed to more of this substance than those who work in
other sectors. Exposure to diesel exhaust for a long time can cause lung
carcinoma in laboratory animals, such as rats. Diesel exhaust can cause DNA
modifications in cells, making them more susceptible to cancerous growth.
Studies on diesel exhaust in humans have identified a variety of health problems
including respiratory disorders like emphysemaor chronic bronchitis, as well as
blood system diseases like cancers of the bladder and the voice box, stomach
pancreas and stomach. Some cancers of the prostate, breast and stomach have been
caused by diesel exhaust. The American Cancer Society considers diesel exhaust
to be a carcinogen. It is classified as carcinogenic by the International Agency
for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization. People who work
with large machines and engines, such as truck drivers and operators of toll
booths, could be at a high risk of developing cancer from the exhaust of diesel.
They could be at risk too if they spend too much time in areas where heavy
diesel traffic occurs (e.g. highways or cities). In addition, railroad workers
who maintain and construct tracks and yards may be exposed to diesel fumes when
they work near engines or other equipment using diesel engines. These fumes pose
a particular risk when they get into the cabins of locomotives as well as other
machinery. A study on laboratory rats found that exposure for a long time to
diesel exhaust can cause several lung tumors and inflammatory changes. Some of
these tumors appeared like a kind of cancer called a lung adenocarcinoma. The
condition occurs when the cells of the lungs turn malignant and expand and
divide quickly.
