Some examples include asbestos, silica, pharmaceuticals, lead-based paint, pesticides, solvents, industrial chemicals, tobacco, and hazardous waste. The years since the mid-1970’s have seen huge increases in the number of lawsuits filed against companies, and also in the types of substances alleged to be toxic.
