Air Pollution Claims

Air pollution is a major industrial work-related problem. The Environmental Permitting Regulations established in 2010 provided a framework for industries to apply local regulations in order to obtain their permit to operate. These regulations cover the operation of industries ranging from small dry cleaning centers to big power stations.

Work related air pollutants typically include substances such as asbestos, dust, fumes, contamination of water supplies, chemical spillages, and mining activities. Although the release of these harmful substances is heavily regulated, some employers may neglect certain air safety regulations. This exposure can be potentially damaging to the health of an affected employee.

Industrial air pollution can cause diseases, especially relating to the respiratory system, depending on the level of pollution. Although industrial pollutions may occur at your workplace, it may also affect you while you are outside. For example, if there is a release of industrial waste into the environment, local residents may be affected. If you have suffered the effects of an illness or injury as a result of poor safety standards by your employer or an industry near you, you may be able to make a claim for compensation.
