Benzene/Acute Myelogenous Leukemia

Benzene is a carcinogen. Exposure to Benzene can cause acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), as well as other forms of leukemia and cancer.  Benzene has been widely used for many years and millions of workers are still exposed to Benzene each year.  Benzene is used as a constituent in motor fuels, as a solvent for fats, waxes, resins, oils, inks, paints, plastics, wax, glues, detergents, rubber and printing supplies.  Benzene is also used to manufacture detergents, explosives, pharmaceuticals and dyes.

It is common for Benzene-related diseases and illnesses to develop slowly.  This means that people may be living with serious Benzene effects for years without receiving treatment.
