Benzene, a clear liquid chemical that with a sweet smell, is very widely used in a range of products. This means that most people are exposed to this chemical is some form or another every day of our lives.

This is a chemical that also occurs naturally in the environment, but the major threat from this chemical comes from Benzene that is used in a range of manmade products.
There are a number of sources of benzene exposure, and these include products such as solvents, detergents, plastics, synthetic fibers, dyes, rubber, resins, paint, and many other items. This chemical can also be found in cigarette smoke and within the petroleum industry. Those at highest risk of prolonged or high level exposure are people that work with the chemical. Those working with petroleum based solvents are classed as high risk because they inhale the vapors released from the solvent products, as well as through the skin in the event that the solvent makes contact with the skin during work. Some of the high risk group occupations have been identified as chemical workers, refinery workers, rubber workers, printers, leather workers, press workers, painters, and gasoline distributors.
