Here is some information from a perc attorney that may be helpful to those in WV (West Virginia) who have worked with coal. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, perchloroethylene (perc) poses serious health hazards if its exposure is not adequately controlled. Exposure to perc can occur by mere inhalation. Health hazards associated with perc exposure include: dizziness, loss of coordination, mild memory loss, blistering and redness of skin after contact with perc. Additionally, perc has been linked to an increased risk of certain cancers after years of exposure.

Other US governmental and international organization are also labeling perc as a likely "human carcinogen." The threat is serious and requires the assessment of medical professionals. If you have question and believe that you may be ill effected, contact a lawyer as well. You may be entitled to compensation.

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.
