Chemicals are used everyday in your home and at the workplace. Though most manufactures and property owners follow safety guidelines, toxic accidents are sometimes the result of negligence and/or intentional acts of corporate wrongdoers. In Louisiana, during the years 1993-2000, fifty companies reported thirty-two chemical accidents. The types of accidents included toxic gas releases, fires, explosions and liquid spills or evaporation. Exposure to such chemicals have been linked to birth defects, cancer, brain injuries, and allergic reactions ranching from shortness of breath, pain in the chest, headaches, vomiting, and nausea.
