PCE FLOAT-SINK LAB
WV coal lab workers suffer exposure to industrial chemical PCE
Weitz & Luxenberg is now accepting cases from laboratory workers who have sustained neurological injuries in West Virginia coal preparation "float-sink" labs after exposure to an industrial chemical known as PCE.
February 9, 2009 –Workers in West Virginia coal prep labs (known in the trade as float-sink labs) test and clean coal for market, but are routinely exposed to excessive amounts of a stringent solvent called Perchloroethylene (PCE). PCE exposure causes serious neurological injuries to workers and is known to cause cancer.
The signature injury associated with PCE exposure (and a viable injury for an environmental lawsuit; see WV Coal Labs) is “Central Nervous Disorder.” Symptoms of long-term PCE exposure include:
PCE float-sink exposure
PCE exposure can also lead to cancer. Three national health agencies recognize PCE as a probable carcinogen; they are: the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the National Toxicology Program, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
