Prolonged exposure to chemicals or toxic materials over a period of time can slowly cause injuries to the eyes, skin, throat, and lungs. Common symptoms of chemical and toxic material exposure include: eye irritation, light sensitivity, watery eyes, swollen eyelids blurred or reduced vision, skin irritation, including red, blotchy, raised, and painful patches, lung irritation such as breathing problems, shortness of breath.

Chemical exposure is the most common cause of malignant mesothelioma and other asbestos-related disorders. Despite the fact that many asbestos-related sources have been removed or phased out, the substance was widely used in a variety of industries until a few decades ago. Because mesothelioma has such a long latency period, many new patients are still learning about it today. When firms utilized asbestos in manufacturing or consumer goods, they were well aware that the chemical posed a health danger to people.
