What is Toxic Exposure?

Toxic exposure refers to situations where you are exposed to a dangerous substance that can harm your health. These substances can be found in a wide range of settings, including the workplace, your home, or in the environment.

Regardless of where the exposure happens, the person or business responsible for the dangerous substance can be held liable for the injuries you suffer.

What are Some Common Types of Toxic Exposure?

Many different types of toxic exposure can occur in a wide range of settings. Some of the most common types of toxic exposure include:

• Asbestos exposure: Asbestos is a mineral that was used in a variety of products and building materials for many years. It was commonly used in insulation, roofing materials, and in the construction of buildings. When asbestos fibers become airborne, they can be inhaled into the lungs, where they can cause mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other serious diseases.
• Lead exposure: Lead is a toxic heavy metal that was used in various products, including paint and gasoline. It is no longer used in these products, but it can still be found in older homes and buildings. Lead exposure can cause a variety of serious health problems, including brain damage.
• Toxic mold exposure: Mold is a type of fungus that can grow in homes and buildings. Certain types of mold can produce toxic substances known as mycotoxins. When people are exposed to high levels of mold or mycotoxins, they can suffer a wide range of health problems.
