Lung Cancer Can Be Caused by Diesel Fumes
- Our law firm has several potential cases of lung cancer being caused by diesel fumes in Roselake Railroad Yards. We have a lawsuit pending in St. Clair County for a deceased railroad worker who died of lung cancer. The presence of diesel fumes at Roselake Yards is caused by the diesel trucks and the diesel locomotives.
- There now has been extensive research in the United States indicating that diesel fumes from a diesel engine is a toxic and carcinogenic substance. A railroad worker working in the railroad yards breathes in this polluted environment and the inhaling of the toxic fumes day in and day out over a period of years is a causative factor in developing lung cancer and other types of cancer.
INTERMODAL RAILROAD YARDS ARE ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS to railroad employees for developing lung cancer.
- Any employee, family member or friend of an employee who has incurred lung cancer in recent years should investigate the potential causes of lung cancer.
- The railroad industry has known for many years that diesel fumes contain chemicals that are potentially injurious to the respiratory system.
All railroad yards have an air quality environment where diesel fumes are present in large quantities throughout the working day. This is especially true in piggyback yards.
- If you are acquainted with any railroad employee who has or died from this dreadful disease, they should consult our office or an attorney of their choice to investigate the history and background of the disease as it is related to their work in the railroad yards.
Please feel free to call anyone at our office to further discuss any information concerning this subject.
