Ethylene Oxide: Carcinogen Exposure in Smyrna and Covington

Are you or a loved one suffering from ethylene oxide exposure? If you live in Smyrna or Covington, you may have been exposed to this harmful chemical for years.

The EPA has located two plants — Sterigenics in Smyrna and BD Bard in Covington — that have been releasing high volumes of ethylene oxide into the air.

Now, people living in these areas of metro Atlanta are more likely to develop cancer than those in other parts of Georgia.

Companies use ethylene oxide for many reasons – from sterilization of medical equipment and cosmetics to producing

Pharmaceuticals
Adhesives
Detergents
Textiles
Polyurethane foam

The problem comes when these companies negligently allow the emission of ethylene oxide, contaminating surroundings and impacting the lives of innocent people.

In addition to its high correlation with various forms of cancer, ethylene oxide is also associated with a range of adverse health disorders, including:

Genetic damage
Peripheral paralysis
Nerve damage
Spontaneous abortion
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Multiple myeloma
Leukemia

"I went to Charles after I was hit in a car accident last year. He, and especially his paralegals, were very considerate and actually cared about me. They helped me BIG time..My settlement was way more than I could even imagine. They are great about keeping you in the loop and getting your case done fast." Lauren

“Charles handled a personal injury suit that was primarily for symptoms that were not simple to demonstrate to the jury. Throughout the case Charles was professional and well prepared. We won an excellent settlement for this type of case.” Cindy

“After my case was turned down by several firms, I asked Mr. McAleer to review my case. He did, and he thought he could win it. The insurance company did not offer me one dime, even at trial and after the jury was deliberating. The Gwinnett jury returned a verdict in my favor for $300,000. I was in tears. I will always be thankful to Mr. McAleer for believing in my case and in me.” R.S.
