Risks of exposure to benzene

Most people are exposed to benzene in some form almost every day of their lives. However, this chemical can have deadly effects on those that are exposed to it for long periods of time or in high levels. In fact, Benzene has been classified as a Class A carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency. Exposure to Benzene is thought to be partly responsible for the rise in cases of leukaemia amongst both children and adults.
