Mercury emissions from Holcim cement plant in Dundee, Michigan


High levels of mercury emanated from the Dundee cement plant

Holcim cement plant in Dundee, Michigan is responsible for mercury emissions.

These emissions are affecting the environment and possibly, the health of Dundee residents.

The sources of these emissions are the plant’s kiln stacks, pre-heaters and cooling towers.

Few people are aware that mercury exposure can raise the risk of heart disease in adults and cause a variety of neurological problems in fetuses.

Dundee residents who have experienced harm from mercury can contact the environmental lawyers of Weitz & Luxenberg by completing the form on this page.

Our environmental attorneys are litigators with extensive courtroom experience and an in-depth understanding of the environmental laws.

Our litigation encompasses toxic tort, personal injury and property damage claims. We counsel and represent our clients in all phases of civil litigation, including all pre-trial proceedings.

Among other matters, Weitz & Luxenberg is currently litigating two large cases involving injuries people have sustained as a result of exposures to contaminants in their drinking water and/or in the air they breathe: one in Plant City, Florida, which has approximately 1,000 plaintiffs, and one in Grand Island, Nebraska, which has approximately 300 plaintiffs.

Our Success
The firm recently secured a landmark settlement against some of the country's biggest oil companies for contaminating public drinking water supplies with a gasoline additive known as methyl butyl tertiary ether, or MTBE. Most of those defendants agreed to pay $423 million to settle suits involving the contamination of 153 public and private drinking water systems nationally.

Weitz & Luxenberg has been winning such cases for over 20 years.
