Exposure to Benzene - Learn More

People in the workplace can be exposed to Benzene as well as people who are exposed to tobacco smoke. In that case, anyone who is a smoker or is exposed to tobacco smoke could be affected. In today's world, many people are exposed to second hand smoke; therefore, they can all be exposed to Benzene.

Sources and Potential Exposure

Individuals employed in industries that manufacture or use benzene may be exposed to the highest levels of benzene.
Benzene is found in emissions from burning coal and oil, motor vehicle exhaust, and evaporation from gasoline service stations and in industrial solvents.
These sources contribute to elevated levels of benzene in the ambient air, which may subsequently be breathed by the public.
Tobacco smoke contains benzene and accounts for nearly half the national exposure to benzene.
Individuals may also be exposed to benzene by consuming contaminated water.

Assessing Personal Exposure

Measurement of benzene in an individual's breath or blood or the measurement of breakdown products in the urine (phenol) can estimate personal exposure.
However, the tests must be done shortly after exposure and are not helpful for measuring low levels of benzene.
