Toxic Chemical Exposure
There are many dangers associated with exposure to toxic chemicals. Often, these chemicals remain in the environment unnoticed for many years and cause health issues such as asthma, lung disease, skin disease, cancer and even death. Negligent design of equipment and irregular maintenance can cause leaks and spills, which create immediate hazards to those nearby.
If you or someone you know has suffered due to exposure to toxic chemicals, it may be appropriate to consider filing a civil lawsuit seeking financial compensation to address the resulting illness and its effects. The dedicated Harrisburg toxic chemical exposure attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., have the skills and experience necessary to help you to form a case.

- Pesticides

Although the EPA provides information to communities about toxic hazards in their area, monitoring can be difficult, if not impossible.
