After a Chemical Exposure or Plant Explosion
A chemical exposure can involve occupational exposure at workplace or third party exposure, such as where an employee works at a third party site or if you live in an area that is subjected to a constant chemical release. Chemical exposures can also occur as part of a plant explosion, resulting not only in burns, scarring and disfigurement, but a wide range of exposure-related illnesses.
Exposure to chemicals like asbestos, benzene and chlorine gas often occurs through topical absorption through the skin, and it can result in serious injuries.
Immediate effects can include
- lung burn
- skin irritation
- cough,
- watering eyes
- vision problems
Long-term effects can be catastrophic, even fatal. Clients may be facing serious conditions like cancer, kidney damage, liver damage, neuropathy, retinal damage and brain damage.
