Have You Been Injured Because of Chemical Exposure?
Some industries in the Metro-East and throughout Southern Illinois and Eastern Missouri have been using our air, landfills and rivers to dispose of toxic chemicals for decades. Each year, hundreds of residents and workers throughout the region suffer serious disease and medical conditions because of immediate or prolonged exposure to harmful chemicals in the air, in their groundwater and elsewhere in the environment. If you are one of them, you may have a toxic torts claim.

A Note About PCBs, Dioxin, and Furan Contamination
PCBs, dioxins, and furans are unreasonably dangerous and are known to cause or contribute to cause significant health problems in both humans and animals. PCBs and dioxins cause cancer and other serious and life-threatening diseases.
Furan is an organic byproduct of materials containing pentose, such as pine-wood. It is a highly toxic, flammable liquid that is believed to cause cancer from excessive contact or inhalation. People working with wood products often suffer serious illness from exposure to furans.
