Dioxin Attorneys

Dioxin

Dioxin is a general term that describes a group of hundreds of chemicals that are highly persistent in the environment. Dioxin is formed as a by-product of industrial processes involving chlorine such as waste removal, chemical and pesticide manufacturing and pulp and paper bleaching. It has a variety of industrial applications, but is also one of the most deadly chemicals known to man. Cases of dioxin poisoning are most often reported in waste treatment facilities, paper plants and any other industry where workers are consistently exposed to chlorine, a chemical from which dioxin can be a bi-product.

Exposure to dioxin can lead to a variety of life-threatening conditions and ailments. Birth defects, an inability to maintain pregnancy, decreased fertility, reduced sperm counts, endometriosis, diabetes, learning disabilities, immune system suppression, lung problems, skin disorders and lowered testosterone levels are some of the more common side effects, but the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that there are no "safe" amounts of dioxin exposure, and large quantities of dioxin and dioxin-like chemicals continue to be found in various areas of general population within the U.S.

Exposure to dioxin can have disastrous repercussions for the affected individual as well as those they hold dear. If you or a loved one has suffered from the ravages of this deadly chemical, now is the time to seek the aid of an experienced, qualified and caring Dioxin attorney. Those who knew the risks associated with dioxin and failed to properly instruct and protect their employees and anyone else occupying property in the immediate vicinity are potentially liable for their actions. Suffering in silence can only compound your anguish; now is the time for action.
