Lung Disease Caused in the Workplace
If you believe you have contracted lung disease in the workplace, contact Ron D. Coffel & Associates to get the compensation you deserve.
Lung disease can be caused by workplace exposure to harmful gas, fumes, vapors or chemicals used in industry. These may cause asthma, COPD, cancer and a variety of diseases and illnesses common among certain industrial workers who are exposed to inhalants in the workplace. Some examples of chemical exposures in the workplace that can occur over time and lead to an illness or disease can include:
- Glue, resulting in asthma
- Sulfates, resulting in asthma
- Gas fumes, especially diesel fumes
- Vehicle exhaust
- Particles from cement or rock dust
- Pesticides
Damages to Your Lungs
When inhaled over a period of time, these chemical substances irritate the tissue of the lungs and cause a reactionary infection process. Over time, this can lead to scarring and a progressive disease process. Conditions such as allergies, pneumonia, cancer, emphysema, fibrosis, and bronchiolitis may be a diagnosis associated with the exposures.
Symptoms of Lung Disease
If you have shortness of breath, exercise intolerance, breathing impairment, associated symptoms of coughing and wheezing, and have a history of exposure to chemicals in the workplace, such as harmful gas, fumes or vapors, you should consult a pulmonologist or specialist in occupational disease.
You should obtain a copy of the MDSS (Material Data Service Sheet) that includes a list of chemicals in the product you have been exposed to and bring it to your appointment.
