Among the most common dangerous substances that people may be exposed to at work are gasoline, carbon monoxide, asbestos, radon, and benzene. These are only some of the materials to which people may be exposed. If you have suffered from a disease or illness because of chemical exposure, you may be eligible for compensation for medical expenses and lost wages.
