What Are the Common Chemicals and Hazards on the Railroad?
A Railroad Mds employee who oversees switching between rail yards. Responsible for communication of regular and unexpected events that affect train travel between destinations.
The policy of BNSF was created to ensure uniformity of crew attendance and provide employees with predictability when they get called in for their shifts. However, it also ends up penalizing workers who need to take care of medical or family issues.
Benzene
It is a liquid that has an aroma that is sweet and turns into gas when heated to a room temperature. It is found naturally in gasoline and crude oil and is used to create numerous chemicals and materials like plastics, dyes rubbers, and pesticides. It is also used as a solvant for various types of adhesives. Exposure to benzene may lead to a variety of short- and long-term health effects.
When inhaled, benzene can cause harm to the respiratory system and to the central nervous system. In high doses, it could cause dizziness, nausea and tremors. It may even render you feel unconscious. Ingestion of benzene can be toxic and may result in vomiting, stomach irritation, and anemia (a low red blood cell count).
The International Agency for Research on Cancer categorizes benzene under the category one carcinogens. In lab studies, exposure to benzene triggers leukemia in humans, as well as other blood-related cancers. These include acute myeloid (AML) Chronic lymphocytic (CLL), Multiple Myeloma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.
Railroad companies have a duty to ensure the safety of their employees on the job. If a Railroad Mesothelioma employee develops an illness as a consequence of exposure at work to harmful substances, the worker could be entitled compensation. A FELA attorney could help workers gather evidence that proves negligence on the part of the railroad company in order to get compensation for their losses.
Butadiene
Butadiene is a non-colorless gas with an odor similar to gasoline. It has the molecular formula C4H6. Butadiene can be produced by cracking natural gas and hydrocarbons. It is also produced as a byproduct of industry of petrochemicals.
Butadiene is used to make synthetic rubber. It is polymerized using the styrene and acrylonitrile mixture to produce styrene butadiene (SBR) and nitrile butadiene (NBR). These polymers can be utilized in rubber tires as well as other rubber products.
Butadiene is known to cause irritation of the eyes, nose and throat at high levels. It is an extremely toxic and flammable chemical. Inhaling large amounts of butadiene may damage the central nervous system and cause blurred vision nausea, fatigue, headaches diminished pulse rate and blood pressure, as well as unconsciousness. Exposure to butadiene for a long time can lead to lung and heart problems.
Butadiene enters the body via inhalation or skin contact. It is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and then distributed throughout the entire body. Butadiene is linked with an increase in the incidence of cancer, specifically leukemias. It has also been associated with accelerated aging and reduced immune function.
Butadiene is a cancer-causing agent that railroad workers are exposed to when they breathe diesel exhaust at work. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified 1,3-butadiene as an apprehensible human carcinogen. Excessive exposure to diesel exhaust is linked to increased risks of CLL and other types of leukemias.
Diesel Exhaust
Inhaling diesel exhaust fumes can cause respiratory illnesses, including asthma. It can also trigger heart disease and even death. Exposure to diesel particle matter (DPM) is a well-known occupational risk, is a health concern for truck drivers, Railroad Kidney Cancer workers, and people who live near railroad yards. Studies have been conducted that have linked exposure to DPM vapors with increased emergency room visits, hospital admissions, sick days, and premature deaths.
Modern diesel engines burn fuel much more efficiently than older ones, but this efficiency comes with costs: they create dangerous air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides. Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is one of the key components in this system. The government has mandated manufacturers to use technology which reduces toxic emissions.
DEF is a blend of high-purity water and Urea. It is introduced into the Selective Catalyst Reduction System in modern-day trucks and large-scale equipment. The SCR system converts the harmful NOx gas into harmless nitrogen and vapor water that is released through the exhaust pipe.
Due to the way in which the SCR system operates and how it works, quality control is vital for DEF. It must be a pure and consistent mix of urea and water, or it will not function in the way it was designed. If it's contamination occurs, it can cause damage to the SCR system and can even void the manufacturer's warranty. Other methods to prevent exposure to diesel exhaust include to avoid idling and keep border or ticket booths as clear as you can and to ventilate them in a safe manner. It is also possible to provide education and training to help identify potential risks and take appropriate precautions when working near rail vehicles.
CLL Risk
CLL is a chronic disease and is less serious than acute forms of leukemia. About 20,000 people are diagnosed with it every year in the U.S. It is typically found in older people. Nearly 90% of new cases occur in people aged 55 or older. Men are more likely than women to develop the disease. CLL can occur in conjunction with other forms of leukemia, such as Hodgkin’s disease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
New drugs are helping treat CLL. Protein inhibitors (PIs) can reduce the growth rate of cancerous cells and extend their the life span of cancerous cells. Chimeric antigen-receptor-engineered T cell therapy is a powerful new approach to attacking tumors by targeting specific genetic mutations in the cancerous B cells.
The best method to detect and treat CLL is still being researched. This involves studying biomarkers and large patient registers. It is crucial that these biomarkers be considered in the context of pathobiology to determine molecular CLL subgroups that can gain the most benefit from certain treatments or classes of drugs.
Other factors that can increase the likelihood of developing CLL include an ancestral history. A first-degree relative who has the disease has a nearly a two-fold chance of contracting it. Exposure to pesticides and herbicides including benzene has been linked to increased CLL risk. These chemicals are utilized by Railroad Multiple Myeloma workers to manage vegetation on their tracks, Railroad Multiple myeloma at rail crossings and in their rail yards.
