The Dangers of Railroad AML

Acute myeloid cancer, also known as AML occurs in the bone marrow. It's been linked with exposure to benzene-containing fuels paints, solvents, solvents and degreasers.

Railroad employees who develop AML and have reason to believe that their exposures in the workplace may have contributed to the development of the disease, they can make FELA claims. OSMRE collects and distributes AML fees each year.

Benzene

A hazardous and toxic solvent, benzene is a product of the process of distillation of petroleum. Inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin, it could cause leukemia. It has been associated with aplastic and leukemia in laboratory animals and to blood-related cancers like non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and myeloma in humans.

Historically, the railroad industry employed a range of petroleum solvents which typically contained high levels of benzene. The most popular products included Liquid Wrench parts washers, SafetyKleen, Champion brake cleaner, and CRC. Numerous studies have demonstrated that exposure for a long time to these harmful solvents increases the risk of AML and other blood-related disorders.

Acute Myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer, affects the bone marrow and the cells that make blood whites. Myeloid cells are affected in the bone marrow which normally transform into different types of white blood cell.

AML is believed to be caused by benzene exposure and coal creosote exposures. Our medical experts are able identify genetic defects in AML patients and trace it to previous exposure to benzene. Other research has shown a link between benzene and other types leukemia, Railroad Aml like acute lymphocytic as well as chronic lymphocytic. All of these leukemias have a connection to the B cells and the formation lymphocytes in the bone marrow.

Creosote

Creosote can be described as a mixture of coal-tar solutions that are used to preserve, waterproof and insect-proof wooden structures such Railroad Emphysema ties and utility poles. This chemical is a recognized carcinogen that has been associated with cancers of the testicles and the skin as well as acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In addition, creosote is an endocrine poison that can leach from treated wood into water and Railroad Aml soil.

The chemicals present in creosote include hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and phenols. PAHs are water-soluble and may build up on bodies of birds and fish. Coal-tar creosote is a dark oily liquid that could contain as many as 10,000 chemicals. It is also found in hazardous waste sites. It can be absorbed by the skin or inhaled.

Workers who handle and burn creosote-treated wood are especially vulnerable to health issues. For example, the creosote-treated wood which is burned in backyard fire pits is contaminated with PAHs and phenol which can cause air pollution. Workers who work with or burn creosote treated Railroad Colon Cancer ties are also at risk of exposure because the toxic chemicals in the creosote are released into the air.

The chemical Benzene is another one that is used in railroad maintenance, is also a risk. The chemical's odorless nature has been associated with lung cancer and mesothelioma. The chemical is present in paints, degreasers and solvents. You can also find it in brake pads and clutches as well as wallboards, wallboards, and other industrial products. Benzene can also be linked to an increased chance of developing AML. Our experts can detect genetic damage in AML that is in line with benzene exposure.

Asbestos

Asbestos is a class of naturally occurring fibrous silicate minerals. It is invulnerable to chemicals, heat and electrical energy. This has made it a popular use in construction materials as well as parts for automobiles. But asbestos has a dark side. Inhaling tiny fibers of asbestos can be dangerous. This can lead to serious lung diseases including asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer.

Benzene is a dangerous chemical that railroad workers are exposed to on a daily basis. It is present in diesel exhaust as well as various solvents. It's also associated with cancers and leukemia. A study from 2016 showed that exposure to benzene for as little as five years increases the risk of AML.

Asbestos is another common contaminant that is found on railroad tracks. It was once extensively used in military applications as well as by railroads because of its ability to prevent fires and electrical failures. Many veterans of the United States Armed Forces were exposed to asbestos before it was identified as a risk to health. Thousands of them have developed mesothelioma and other illnesses because of their exposure to deadly substance. They may be eligible for compensation through trust funds.

Trichloroethylene

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is an inert, colorless liquid that easily evaporates into the air. It is used as a solvent in order to remove grease from equipment made of metal and is also an ingredient in other chemicals. TCE is a probable carcinogen, with strong evidence it causes liver cancer in humans and malignant lymphoma (a blood cancer) in mice. TCE exposure can also damage the kidneys and central nervous system as well as trigger allergic skin and respiratory reactions.

TCE is found in the soil and water near industrial locations where it has been manufactured, used or discarded. It can also be leached into drinking water and groundwater from underground storage tanks. If the water in your home has been contaminated by trichloroethylene (TCE), you can limit the risk to your family of being exposed by ensuring a clean well-maintained and well-maintained source of water and taking steps to minimize dust and dirt inside the house.

Many Railroad Copd workers have been exposed to trichloroethylene as well as other chemical solvents while on the job. In addition to benzene Exposure to these solvents is linked to AML. In fact, experts can now detect genetic problems in AML patients that relates to past trichloroethylene exposures. Our lawyers have experience representing railroaders who have AML caused by trichloroethylene creosote, and coal tar. We can help you receive the compensation you deserve.
