New Jersey Environmental Problems

Don’t drink the water! Don’t breathe the air! Don’t eat the food! If you live or work in an environment that has been contaminated or polluted, you may wish to consult a New Jersey environmental lawyer about your legal rights. Environmental problems represent one of the most dangerous threats to our well-being. In many cases, big industrial businesses and corporations are responsible for contaminating our water supply, our air, our livestock and food supplies.

Fortunately, there are many federal and state agencies to protect you, as well as many statutes and regulations. These include the Chemical Safety Information, Site Security, and Fuels Regulatory Relief Acts, Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the Emergency Planning and the Community Right to Know Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, the Food Quality Protection Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, the Pollution Prevention Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Toxic Substances Control Act. These are only a fraction of the laws designed to protect you.

If you are afflicted by an environmental disaster, by polluted water or air, or by other dangerous or toxic environmental problems, you may have a right to damages and to an injunction to prevent further contamination of your environment. In fact, there may be a basis for a class action lawsuit against the polluters. Also, if you are not happy with the outcome of your environmental case, our New Jersey appeals attorney at the Law Offices of Mark S. Guralnick can help you.
