Due to the tremendous growth of corporate industry in the United States over the past fifty years, the number of dangerous, toxic substances in the environment has grown significantly. Some toxic substances are shown to cause substantial injury to people, such as lead-based paint: linked to brain damage, especially in children, asbestos: lung cancer, restrictive lung disease, dry cleaning and other solvents: brain damage, major organ damage, pesticides such as dioxin and DDT: birth injuries and toxic landfill waste: leukemia. Typically these injuries occur from either working with toxic chemicals or living near a facility that manufactures or uses dangerous chemicals. There can also be exposure at playgrounds or in drinking water.
