Common Toxins

While many products contain toxins, or may form toxins under certain circumstances, the following are some of the more common toxins seen in toxic tort claims:

• Toxic chemicals - many industrial cleaners and solvents contain toxins, and long term exposure can cause irreparable damage. Toxic chemical spills also expose many people to harmful toxins and poisons. Toxic chemicals include pesticides, toxic waste (including waste treatment plants), and biohazardous materials from hospitals and medical facilities.
• Lead paint - lead paint exposure typically through ingestion, and mostly by infants and small children who ingest lead dust that can get on the floor, their toys, their hands, and other things that children can stick in their mouth. Lead paint is common in older homes or buildings.
• Toxic mold - are mold spores which can accumulate and grow in moist areas, most commonly between walls, flooring, and ceilings, as well as on furniture. Infants are the most susceptible to toxic mold injury or death.
• Gas exposure - gas leaks in the home or workplace are the most forms of exposure to toxic gas fumes.
• Tobacco - tobacco litigation is widely known as well as the danger and harms from first and second hand tobacco smoke. Cigarettes, cigars, and pipe smoke are the most common forms of tobacco toxins.
• Asbestos exposure - asbestos and other toxic products can cause cancer and other diseases, including Mesothelioma (Meso).
