Bladder Cancer Compensation Claims
Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is a very common type of cancer. It usually develops in people aged between 50-70 but it can occur at any age. There is now research identifying potential links between being exposed to industrial chemicals and developing bladder cancer. Being exposed to carcinogenic chemicals is more common than you think and, like many industrial diseases, bladder cancer is usually diagnosed years after the initial exposure occurred. It could be around 25 years until symptoms start to develop.
The cancer is usually caused by chemicals getting into the bloodstream through the inhalation or ingestion of chemicals or as a result of contact with skin.
There is a long list of chemicals and substances which increase the risk of developing bladder cancer, including:
- Arsenic
- Diesel Fumes
- Dyes
- Coal Tar
- Magenta
- Paint
- Rubber
- X-rays
There are also many different occupations and industries which increase the likelihood of being exposed to dangerous chemicals:
- Chemical industry
- Jobs that involve dyeing textiles
- Hairdressers
- Leather industry
- Gas industry
- Mechanics
- Mining
- Road workers
- Rubber workers
- Painting/decorating
- Printing industry
