Risks of exposure to benzene

Females that have been occupationally exposed to this chemical have been found to suffer a decrease in the size of the ovaries as well as menstrual problems. Some studies, although not yet conclusive, have also suggested that the high level exposure to the chemical could also affect fertility in women. In animal tests, pregnant animals that were exposed to benzene via inhalation sustained fetus damage including low birth weight, bone marrow problems, and problems with bone formation.
