One of the things that people expect, and should be able to expect, from their home is the ability to reside there safely. But, for some this is unfortunately not the case. You may have only just learned that you and your family have been the victims of exposure to toxic chemicals, substances or pollution.
There are many ways in which harmful substances can become a part of your home environment. Some common examples include:
- Lead-based paint — In older homes and apartment buildings, lead-based paint may still be found. Lead is toxic and can cause numerous types of harm to people. Children are especially vulnerable to lead poisoning. Small children may consume paint chips or inhale dust laden with lead. Lead can cause severe learning disabilities in children in addition to all of the other harms it causes.
- Chemical exposure — Nearby tanks that hold gasoline or other chemicals may not be sufficiently inspected or maintained and may leak. Such leaks may go on undetected for long periods of time. Gasoline or other chemicals may leak into the water table and contaminate your home's drinking water. Harmful fumes may drift from a leaking tank onto your property.
