Coping with a rare disease such as aplastic anemia is not an easy task.  The hardest part to deal with is finding out what causes the disorder.  I have not been diagnosed with the disorder, but my father has.  The doctors have linked the development of his diagnosis to the exposure of benzene within his occupational environment.  Other occupational and environmental exposures to certain chemicals have created a higher risk for developing aplastic anemia.  How could these occupational/environmental exposures to certain chemicals lead to the prevalence of aplastic anemia in the future?
