What is Benzene and Why is it Dangerous?

Benzene is a chemical used in numerous industries and products, ranging from plastics to solvents. Despite its widespread use, benzene is highly toxic and has been linked to various blood and bone marrow cancers. Understanding the source of your exposure can be critical, especially if your profession is one of many that historically involved benzene use, such as auto mechanics, painters, or refinery workers.

Key Diseases Associated with Benzene Exposure

– Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) – A rapidly progressing cancer affecting blood and bone marrow.

– Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) – A blood disorder that can lead to AML.

– Aplastic Anemia – A condition where the marrow stops making new blood cells.

These are not just statistics; they are real issues affecting real people. If you or a loved one are suffering from these conditions and have a history of benzene exposure, it’s important to understand your rights.
