Benzene in Consumer Products
I read this over at Mother Earth News in their Bits and Pieces Section:
BENZENE ALERT: Benzene (a hydrocarbon that may contribute to the development of leukemia) is contained in such consumer products as stove and lantern fuels, brush cleaners, and rubber cement, and is also used as an octane booster in lead-free gasoline. The Carcinogen Information Program (Dept. TMEN, P.O. Box 6057, St. Louis, Missouri 63139) has published a special bulletin, entitled Benzene and Cancer , which is available free upon request (please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope).
