Exposure to Benzene

Those at highest risk from Benzene exposure are people that are exposed to the chemical on a daily basis because of their frequent exposure to the chemical. Some symptoms of exposure to Benzene include: convulsions, confusion, dizziness, drowsiness, headaches, unconsciousness, and vomiting.

Exposure to Benzene can result whenever carbon-rich materials undergo incomplete combustion. The biggest threat to people from exposure to benzene comes from this highly toxic chemical being used in everyday items. This toxic chemical is widely used in a vast range of household products, such as plastics, detergents, synthetic fibres, resins, dyes, rubber, paint, as well as countless other items.

Unfortunately, benzene exposure is something that is hard to avoid, as this chemical occurs naturally in the environment; it is produced naturally in volcanoes and forest fires and is also a component of cigarette smoke.

People who have the following jobs are often exposed to substantial concentrations of benzene at work: chemical workers, chemists, coke oven workers, gasoline distribution workers, gas station attendants, laboratory technicians, leather workers, mechanics, newspaper pressmen, painters, printers, refinery workers, railroad workers, rubber workers, seamen, shoe workers, and tanker truck drivers.
