Benzene Exposure

Workers in various industries that make or use benzene may be at risk of exposure to high levels of this carcinogenic chemical.

Industries that involve the use of benzene include the rubber industry, oil refineries, chemical plants, shoe manufacturers, and gasoline related industries.

In 1987, OSHA estimated that about 237,000 workers in the United States were potentially exposed to benzene, and it is not known if this number has substantially changed since then.
