Environmental Hazards
Harmed by Toxic Chemicals or Pollution?
Despite laws meant to protect people and the environment, some companies still release harmful chemicals into the air, soil, and water. Families who live or work nearby may face cancer and other serious illnesses, contaminated drinking water, and falling property values, often without ever being warned.
