Aging infrastructure, political infighting, and dangerous cost-cutting measures exposed thousands of these residents to high levels of lead. Many of these victims were children. The same thing is happening in other neighborhoods throughout America, such as New York City\u2019s public housing projects and the residents of Tampa, Florida.<\/p>\n

\"KoGenerally, lead smelter owners care much more about profits than people. As a result, these workers breathe dusty air that\u2019s laced with high levels of lead. Other injuries include serious burns and repetitive stress injuries.<\/p>\n

Lead smelter owners often prey on minority workers with limited educations or criminal records by offering to pay them as much as $20 per hour plus benefits. But the relatively high pay and generous benefits come at a price. These individuals must work very long hours in very dangerous conditions.<\/p>\n

Worker safety at most smelters, like the Gopher Resource smelter in Tampa, Florida, is a catch-22. If workers wear facemasks to protect themselves from lead-laced dust, they may succumb to the searing heat in these smelters. The company\u2019s smelters run twenty-four hours a day at temperatures above 1,500 degrees. If workers don\u2019t wear masks so they can keep up with demanding quotas, health issues like reproductive problems, high blood pressure, kidney disease, and brain injuries.<\/p>\n

Lead smelter operators like Gopher Resource are keenly aware of the extreme health dangers. Yet they continue to send workers into hazardous areas.<\/p>\n

\"M\u00f3wiLarge, dangerous lead smelters don\u2019t just endanger the workers themselves. They also endanger people in the surrounding community. Many workers unwittingly carry lead-laced dust particles home with them, on their clothing or skin or in their vehicles. These particles quickly infect other family members. Furthermore, the lead particles often seep into groundwater. People who depend on private wells are especially susceptible to such injuries.<\/p>\n

The statistics support these fears. Over the past several years, over a dozen children of Gopher Resource lead smelter workers have tested positive for unhealthy lead levels. Furthermore, there have been over 2,400 lead poisoning cases in Hillsborough County (the Tampa area) since 2010. That\u2019s by far the most of any county in Florida, even much larger ones, like Miami-Dade County.<\/p>\n

Lead affects children differently from adults. In addition to the aforementioned health effects, lead causes developmental delays in children. These delays force children into a downward spiral. Every year, they fall further behind their classmates and get more frustrated over their inability to process simple problems.<\/p>\n

Companies like Gopher Resource insist they are doing their best to promote safety. But if that were true, area residents wouldn\u2019t suffer from record levels of lead poisoning.<\/p>\n

Polluting companies have a moral duty to keep people safe. More importantly for our purposes, they also have a legal duty to do so, under federal laws like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act. if they breach these duties, they could be liable for damages.<\/p>\n

These damages normally include compensation for economic losses, such as medical bills, and noneconomic losses, such as pain and suffering. Additional punitive damages are usually available in environmental poisoning cases as well. These damages convince companies to do more than pay lip service to public safety.<\/p>\n

Almost two dozen lead smelters are still operating in the United States. These smelters poison the people who work in them, and the people who live around them. All these victims are entitled to compensation.
