Benzene is a chemcial that is widely used in a number of industries such as in the production of plastics, metals and other chemicals, as well as in paint and as a dissolving agent for rust and other agents. Benzene’s problem however lies in the fact that it has been over the last couple of decades known as a carcinogen. Benzene is in the top 20 list with regard to chemical production in the country, and its reach is pervasive due to its ability to latch on to ice and water and become deposited into soil before it evaporates and makes up part of rain, repeating a vicious cycle. Benzene is a liquid that smells sweet and is amber in color, and inhalation is usually not noticed until one starts to produce symptoms. Prolonged exposure to benzene has been shown to cause serious problems such as the development of blood cancer or leukemia, and workers in certain industries are particularly susceptible. If you believe that your employer didn’t do enough to protect you from benzene exposure, you may be eligible for money damages by filing a benzene exposure lawsuit, and we’re here to help you with that.
