The Roseland, LA Explosion: What Happened
On August 22, 2025, a massive explosion and fire at the Smitty’s Supply plant in Roseland, Louisiana released toxic soot, oily residue, and chemical vapors across nearby neighborhoods. Residents reported “oily rain” falling on homes, vehicles, and yards. Many people experienced coughing, headaches, rashes, burning eyes, and breathing problems.
If you or your family were exposed to smoke, soot, or chemical residue from this disaster, you may have the right to pursue compensation for your injuries, property damage, and future medical needs.
Health Risks of Chemical Soot Exposure
The burning of chemicals stored at the plant — including ethanol, diesel, motor oil, brake fluid, lubricants, and hydraulic fluids — produces hazardous residues such as:
- PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) – linked to cancer and lung disease
- Carbon monoxide & aldehydes – causing dizziness, nausea, headaches
- Fine soot particles (PM2.5) – aggravating asthma, COPD, and heart conditions
- Oily residues – irritating skin and eyes, as well as contaminating homes and vehicles
Children, seniors, and those with pre-existing conditions face heightened health risks.
