Leaking Underground Storage Tanks Lawyers
in Denver and Nationwide
The majority of underground storage tanks contain petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, heating oil, kerosene, and jet fuel. Many other substances classified by law as hazardous are also stored in underground storage tanks. When those underground storage tanks leak, they contaminate the soil and groundwater. The contamination plume can sometimes be very large and contaminate groundwater and property that may be far away from the underground tank.
Most leaking underground storage tanks - LUST contain gasoline. The hazards of gasoline are mainly attributable to the BTEX compounds -- benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes. Exposure to these compounds can cause many serious health problems, including an increased risk of cancer, and can lead to liver, kidney, and central nervous system damage.
