Common Types of Toxic Torts

There are countless toxins that are considered hazardous. Some of the most common substances involved in toxic tort litigation include:

• Asbestos: A mineral used in the production of insulation and various other products, and as a flame retardant in certain industries. Repeated asbestos exposure has been linked to adverse health conditions such as asbestosis and mesothelioma.
• Toxic Paint-Related Substances: There are several chemicals used in paint that can be harmful to your health if ingested or inhaled. Examples include ethanol, xylene, methyl alcohol, and benzyl alcohol.
• Benzene: A hydrocarbon that is used in the refining of fuel, as well for manufacturing in certain industries. Benzene has been linked to leukemia, and it has been known to damage the body's internal organs.
• Toxins in the Home: Consumers often breathe in harmful substances in their own home, such as mold, pesticides, and toxins within certain cleaning products.
• Pharmaceutical Drugs: Many pharmaceuticals contain harmful substances that can cause all kinds of unintended side-effects.

Toxic exposure often affects a group of people, such as employees of a certain company. In such cases, a lawsuit may be filed against the manufacturer, distributor, and other parties who are responsible for the exposure.
