Multiple myeloma - Ethylene oxide exposure claim

Multiple myeloma - Ethylene oxide exposure claim video

In numerous research papers, multiple myeloma has been connected with continuous exposure to high levels of ethylene oxide (EtO) emissions. This harmful chemical is typically used in facilities for sterilization. Some establishments may release EtO gases into the air, which affects the health of both workers and residents nearby.

If you or your family member has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma and you strongly believe that EtO exposure may be the cause, then you may file a claim and might be entitled to just compensation.

Claim Application

Long-term exposure to high concentrations of EtO may cause multiple myeloma

Employees of establishments that use EtO are at risk of occupational exposure. In addition, people with homes near EtO-emitting facilities may also be exposed to high concentrations of ethylene oxide. It’s important to know that the EPA, CDC, and IARC have labeled EtO a human carcinogen.

Furthermore, the ATSDR released a brief highlighting studies that reflect the fact that prolonged exposure to ethylene oxide elevated the chances of developing multiple myeloma.

Individuals diagnosed with multiple myeloma may likely experience the following symptoms:

  • Fatigue, weakness, and tiredness
  • Broken bones or fractures
  • Weight loss
  • Frequent or stubborn infections
  • Nausea
  • Frequent thirst and urination
  • Loss of appetite
  • Confusion
  • Bruising or bleeding

You may qualify to file an EtO-related claim if (1) you live or work in an EtO-emitting facility and received a cancer diagnosis like multiple myeloma, or (2) you are a relative of a person who passed away from multiple myeloma connected to EtO exposure.
