Benzene is a Dangerous Chemical that Has Been Linked with a High Risk of Leukemia and Cancers of Blood Cells

The American Cancer Society® has cited studies that show that rates of leukemia and other blood-related cancers (such as multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma) are higher in children and adults who have been exposed to high levels of benzene, a colorless flammable liquid that evaporates quickly. Those who work in gas stations across the country are particularly vulnerable. As one of the 20 most widely used chemicals in the United States, Benzene is used in many products commonly used in gas stations, including:

Gasoline and gasoline additives
Crude oil (which means it is found in motor vehicle exhaust)
Lubricants
Rubbers
Plastics
Resins
Dyes
Detergents
Industrial solvents

Gas Station Attendants and Employees are Particularly Vulnerable to Benzene Exposure

Routes of exposure for benzene include inhalation and skin contact. Because of its wide use in the United States, people are often exposed to benzene when many consumer products, in their everyday environment, and while at work. Workplace exposures are particularly high for those who work in gas stations and as gas stations attendants.

Benzene has been linked to many adverse health effects, including:

Cancer, blood disorders, and death
Anemia
Low white blood cell counts and compromised ability to fight infections
Low blood platelet counts
Nervous system issues
Drowsiness, dizziness, and confusion
Headaches and tremors
Unconsciousness
Vomiting, stomach irritation
Convulsions and rapid heart rate
Skin, eye, and throat irritation
Skin redness and blisters
