BTEX

BTEX is an abbreviation for four compounds that are found in petroleum products. A person can become exposed to BTEX through inhalation, ingestion, or through skin absorption, particularly from being exposed to contaminated water.

Environmental Laws

There are many state and federal laws that are set in place to regulate the potential dangers we can have on nature. These laws are also set in place to protect people from harmful substances and contamination.

Gas Leaks/Spills

Gas leaks and spills can be very dangerous and cause fatalities. Gas leaks or spills can arise from broken natural gas pipelines that flows into businesses and residential homes. Gas leaks can contaminate the water supplies and emit toxic fumes into buildings, thereby leading to a host of symptoms, some of which can lead to death.

Hydrocarbons

Hydrocarbons are organic compounds made up of carbon and hydrogen; they are components of petroleum and natural gas, and they also happen to be very toxic. Certain workers who come into contact with hydrocarbons can experience health problems as well as normal people who are exposed through contaminated sources of water.

Toxic Tort

A toxic tort involves clients who are impacted in a negative manner by dangerous substances. Some of these cases involve asbestos, lead poisoning, consumer product failure, and ingesting specific harmful molds.

MTBE Benzene & Gas Additives

MTBE is a gasoline additive that is used to raise the octane level. It is highly dangerous because of its history of poisoning groundwater. It easily spreads underground and is therefore highly restricted.

Oil Leaks/Spills

While oil leaks and spills often occur out at sea, they can occur on dry land as well. Oil spills can have disastrous effects for they can injury or kill oil workers and residents, and they can destroy the environment, thereby costing billions in economic losses.
