railroad settlement asthma Settlements and Asbestos
In 1862, Congress passed the Pacific Railroad Act, which provided funding for two transcontinental railroads by providing large grants of lands for rights-of-way. Railroad workers who develop cancer as a result of workplace exposures can sue their employers under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA).
A jury in Illinois gave $7.5 million to an ex- Union Pacific Trackman who died from acute myeloid leukemia. He blamed his blood-cancers on exposure to creosote benzene and other chemicals used to protect wooden railroad settlement cll ties.
Creosote
Coal tar Creosote is the wood preserver employed to shield railroad settlement blood cancer ties from the sun, heat and cold, rain, and snow. Workers are exposed to toxic chemicals and solvents, like benzene during the application of coal creosote tar. Benzene is a well-known carcinogen causes leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, as as other serious effects like heartbeat changes, convulsions liver damage, anemia and cancers of the lungs and the body.
Our lawyers have successfully prosecuted several lawsuits against Union Pacific railroad settlement reactive airway Disease for exposure to coal-tar creosote. One of these cases resulted in the settlement of a $7.500,000 verdict. The plaintiff was a track department worker who was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia due to exposure to the toxic chemical compound in his work over 31 years. The jury concluded that the railroad did not provide him with personal protective gear, and exposed him to a wide range of toxic chemicals such as coal-tar tar creosote as well as coal tar distillates.
Another theory was the use of copper naphthalenate as an alternative to creosote made from coal. Although copper naphthenate is less damaging to the environment than creosote, it can still be extremely harmful. Copper naphthenate has been identified as a carcinogen and can cause nerve, skin and lung damage to the lung, skin and nerves. It also can contaminate soil and groundwater with benzene.
Benzene
Benzene is a colorless petroleum hydrocarbon used in the production of resins, plastics, and synthetic fibers. It is also found in diesel fuel and exhaust. Diesel fumes are commonly inhaled by the majority of railroad workers. Benzene is a known carcinogen, and has been linked to leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
There is no safe level of exposure to benzene. It can be breathed in or absorbed through the surface of the skin. Long-term exposure to it can damage the bloodstream and cause health problems, including menstrual irregularities, anemia and fertility issues. There is also a link between benzene to certain types of cancer, including breast and lung cancer.
The benzene compound can be inhaled orally but it is the most dangerous when breathed. Inhaling benzene may cause headaches, dizziness or nosebleeds. Benzene may also affect the immune system, which could result in infections.
Recent reports have revealed the high levels of benzene in the vicinity of two Chicago train station. Commuters railway workers, commuters and city residents were exposed to extreme levels of pollution. Schools halted classes and cities asked residents to stay in their homes. Railroad workers, such as car department employees as well as locomotive mechanics, electricians and pipefitters utilize benzene containing products like Safety-Kleen part washers, CRC Brakleen, as well as paints thinners, paints and other products. Also, benzene is found in printing solvents.
Asbestos
The asbestos use in the railroad industry was discovered in the early days. Asbestos consists of six silicate minerals naturally occurring with fibrous structure. They were once utilized in construction due to their an anti-corrosion, fire retardant and insulate characteristics. Inhaling these microscopic fibers can cause serious health issues such as lung cancer mesothelioma and asbestosis. These conditions can take up to 30 years before symptoms are evident.
The EPA has stopped asbestos mining and processing in the US However, asbestos is still found in a wide range of products. This includes certain types of paper, flooring felt and fake fireplace embers. When these materials are exposed either to water or heat they may release asbestos fibers. These fibers could also be released into air during demolition or home renovations.
A recent study has discovered that exposure to benzene even for railroad Settlement reactive airway disease five years significantly increases the likelihood of developing acute myeloid leukemia (AML). If you're experiencing symptoms like night sweats, unexplained weight loss, and a lack of appetite or a lack of appetite, see your doctor immediately. They can conduct an analysis of your blood to determine AML.
The EPA recently settled a case with Genesee & Wyoming Railroad Services Inc. (GWRSI). GWRSI operates locomotives which emit nitrogen oxides as well as fine particulates (PM2.5) when they operate on diesel fuel. This EPA settlement requires GWRSI to replace any of its current locomotives with new ones that meet EPA emission standards.
Diesel Exhaust
As long diesel fuel is used to power railroad workers, they will remain exposed to exhaust. Diesel exhaust is a mixture of toxic chemicals, which include carcinogens such benzene monoxide, and formaldehyde. It also contains particulate matter, polyaromatic hydrocarbons as well as nitrogen oxides.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified diesel exhaust as a group 1 carcinogen. In addition, diesel exhaust can be a cause of respiratory illnesses in the form of bronchiopulmonary conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchiectasis. A 2006 article published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives linked railroad worker employment and COPD rates.
Rail cars and locomotives emit diesel exhaust when they are running and are idling in roundhouses and depots as well as shops and yards. Idling engines emit gases, like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides as well as diesel fumes.
The odor of diesel exhaust is usually evident in the cabs of locomotives, where conductors and engineers are seated for up to six hours at one time. The equipment and the engine emit more exhaust fumes from diesel engines when people enter or leave the cabins. This can cause pulmonary and cancerous conditions.
In poorly ventilated roundhouses as well as workshops and shops, railroad mechanics face a high level of exposure to diesel exhaust. They work with locomotives and track equipment in enclosed spaces that frequently produce harmful inhalants, such as asbestos-insulated steam boilers and steam pipes and silica sand.
