EPA has identified and listed chemical constituents that are known carcinogens. Here is the list.

Once a person has been diagnosed with cancer and tumor type then a specific industry can be targeted that either handles, processes or produces by-products of a particular carcinogen that can be linked to a direct cause of the patients cancer. Then you have to prove that said carcinogen has escaped in to the local environment and exposed the patient to a sufficient dose (concentration and time) to cause cancer.

Most of the time it is not an easy case to make because of the expertise required but if the case is made the plaintiff is walking away with a big settlement.
