Carcinogenicity - Benzene Causes Cancer
Benzene's human carcinogenicity is based on sufficient evidence in humans. Case reports and case series have reported leukemia (mostly acute myelogenous leukemia, also known as acute myeloid or myelocytic leukemia) in individuals exposed to benzene.
The strongest epidemiological evidence that benzene causes cancer is from several cohort studies in various industries and geographical locations, which found that occupational exposure to benzene increased the risk of mortality from leukemia (mainly acute myelogenous leukemia).Case-control studies also reported that exposure to benzene increased the risk of leukemia, but the usefulness of these studies was limited by poorly defined exposures and mixed exposure patterns (IARC 1982, 1987).
If you or your family's health has been compromised, or if your property and/or surrounding environments have been contaminated by Benzene, you can file a Benzene lawsuit to fight back against the negligent polluters and hold them responsible for their actions.All you have to do is fill out the form below for a free case evaluation.
