NIH on Benzene and Cancer

Posted on April 26, 2005 by David Austin

The NIH has a .pdf file that you can access that reviews Benzene and its link to leukemia, particularly Benzene's link to AML (Acute Myelogenous Leukemia or Acute Myeloid or Myelocytic Leukemia)

  • The letter reviews that Benzene is "known to cause cancer"
  • That occupational exposure to benzene increases your risk of mortality
  • What Benzene is in (gasoline, crude oil, etc.)
  • Where it is produced (from coal and petroleum)
  • current exposure standards (PEL Permissible exposure limit (1ppm))

Access the information sheet here at the National Institute for Health
