La contamination de l'environnement est un grave danger auquel de nombreuses personnes sont malheureusement confront\u00e9es. Le p\u00e9trole, les produits chimiques, les m\u00e9taux lourds, les mati\u00e8res radioactives, etc. sont tous des types de contaminants du sol qui auraient pu \u00eatre d\u00e9vers\u00e9s il y a longtemps et, au fil du temps, ces contaminants s'infiltrent \u00e0 travers le sol dans les maisons, les cours et les propri\u00e9t\u00e9s de victimes sans m\u00e9fiance. Ces contaminants peuvent causer des blessures graves et des maladies aux malheureuses victimes qui y sont expos\u00e9es. Heureusement, il existe des circonstances dans lesquelles les victimes peuvent \u00eatre \u00e9ligibles \u00e0 une indemnisation pour tout pr\u00e9judice qu'elles ont subi en raison de la contamination des sols.<\/p>\n

Comment se produit la contamination du sol\u00a0?<\/h3>\n

Soil contamination occurs in two main ways. The first way is through contaminants being dumped directly on the ground. This could be the case if an unscrupulous company long ago dumped waste contaminants on the earth. Perhaps the company dumped chemicals in a ditch or buried barrels of contaminates underground. Years later, the company may have sold the property to a real estate developer, and now residents have to deal with the aftermath many years after the contaminants were dumped onto the site or leaked from buried barrels.<\/p>\n

The second way that contaminants end up in the soil is by being transported by water. When water becomes contaminated, the contaminants deposit in the soil that is exposed to the water. Contaminated streams, rivers, and other bodies of water could flood during a storm, causing the contaminated water to escape its natural boundaries and and overflow into other people\u2019s properties.<\/p>\n

Soil contaminants are often absorbed through the skin when the soil is touched. Gardeners, children playing in the dirt, and people who happen to be walking on contaminated soil with bare feet could all potentially be exposed. Disturbing the contaminated soil could also release contaminants into the air, which could be breathed in as well. Foods that are grown in contaminated soil can also absorb contaminants, and if these contaminated foods are ingested, a person could be injured.<\/p>\n

Exposure to soil contaminants can cause serious injury and illness to people. For instance:<\/p>\n
