Landfill Litigation > Illness From Nearby Toxic Landfills

Illness from landfills and environment toxins; Are you ill because you live near a landfill?

Landfill toxicity can present major health concerns to citizens living nearby.  At the Simon Law firm we advocate nationwide for those who have become ill due to landfill toxins and a variety of unsafe environmental exposures. Whether it is exposure to toxic fumes, dirty water, or contaminated soil, landfills in close proximity to residential areas pose significant health risks.

One Such Landfill Litigation Case

Homeowners in one Florida neighborhood who live near Coyote Landfill are in litigation against the landfill owners. The suit alleges that the landfill has polluted the neighborhood with arsenic, benzene, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and other chemicals. A survey revealed that people living less than a mile from the landfill had more health problems such as respiratory problems, nausea, dizziness and other gastrointestinal problems than those living a mile or two away. Other illnesses that are common to those who live around landfills include arsenic cancer, dioxin cancer, methane cancer, lung problems, headaches, and more.
