Chemical Exposure

Chemical exposure is a blanket term for exposure to a wide variety of substances in the home or workplace that could be toxic. Those who work in chemical and plastics manufacturing, the petroleum industry, steel and heavy metals, construction or welding are at high risk for occupational exposure. At home, potentially dangerous chemicals include cleaning products, pesticides, spray paint and drain cleaners. Those who live or work near a chemical plant, refinery or gas station may also be at risk. Though it is impossible to list every potential side effect of chemical exposure, injuries from short-term exposure may include dizziness, shortness of breath, headaches and forgetfulness. Long-term exposure may cause cancer, birth defects, damage to major internal organs, learning disabilities and chronic neurological damage.
