An investigative study is being conducted into the thousands of Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (EVOS) workers' health issues, and acknowledged as Exxon's criminal actions; not as Exxon's Collateral Damage.
This letter is released in the hope of informing the media, public, and anyone who is concerned about human interest stories relating to how Exxon authorized the toxic chemicals for spraying oily beaches. The firm of Barnett and Lerner is able to represent anyone who was exposed to the poison vapors. I invite you to visit their web site http://www.barnettandlerner.com sign on as clients, and allow them to represent your interest against VECO.
Here is the rest of the story: In 1989 while media and public attention focused on the thousands of oil-coated dead seabirds, otters, and other wildlife, little attention was given to the harm done to the cleanup workers. As workers blasted oiled beaches with hot seawater from high pressure hoses, they were engulfed in toxic fumes,containing aerosolized crude oil—benzene, and other volatile compounds, oil mist, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

It is an extreme concern that the cleanup workers from the 1989 EVOS are suffering from long-term health problems resulting from toxic chemical exposures. A significant number of the workers have died. Some of the illnesses include neurological impairment, chronic respiratory disease, leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors, liver damage, and blood diseases.
