Our lawyers ready to assist Dundee residents harmed from benzene emissions


Dundee residents at risk for benzene exposure

Holcim cement plant is located near the Village of Dundee in Michigan. The factory is known to emit various toxins into the environment, including benzene.

The National Cancer Institute has reported that benzene exposure can lead to the development of cancer in human beings.

Studies of workers who have been exposed to high levels of benzene show that benzene causes leukemia, a cancer of the bone marrow.

Elevated levels of benzene have been found in areas near industrial plants.
