Benzene Attorneys

Benzene is a clear, colorless aromatic liquid that is highly flammable. Benzene is used widely in the U.S. as a building block for plastics, rubber, resins, and synthetic fabrics, a well as solvent in printing, paints, dry cleaning, and a variety of other things. The Department of Health and Human Services determined benzene is a known human carcinogen. Exposure to high levels of benzene has been associated to cases of leukemia and cancer, including Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, and Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, as well as many other types.

Even a small amount of benzene exposure can cause temporary nervous system disorders, immune system depression, and anemia. High levels of benzene can result in death, drowsiness, dizziness, rapid heart rate, headaches, tremors, confusion, unconsciousness, vomiting, and stomach irritation. Benzene was identified as a carcinogen and can cause various forms of leukemia from just five years of exposure, resulting in death in some instances. Despite benzene being banned as a solvent in the U.S. for over twenty years, workers are continually exposed to direct and indirect sources of the chemical.
