Abstract | |||
Although benzene is an established human leukemogen, it still remains an imrtant industrial chemical (>2 billion ponds produced annually in U.S.) and a componenet of unleaded gasoline. The health risk posed by occupational exposure to relatively low levels of benzene (i.e., 10 ppm seeks to provide |
