History of Benzene

In 1825, a British physicist by the name of Michael Faraday discovered Benzene, and forty years later a German chemist introduced the Benzene molecule which is still being used today. Benzene, which is also known as Benzol, is a highly flammable chemical which is colorless, non-corrosive, clear, and strong smelling.

Benzene, which has been used during the last two centuries as a solvent for various commercial, industrial, and consumer applications is a dangerous cancer causing chemical, also known as a carcinogen. At present, Benzene can still be found in many commercial and consumer products, including paints, solvents, pesticides, lubricants, adhesives, degreasers, dry cleaning fluids, and chemicals used in the rubber industry. Exposure to Benzene can result in a variety of ailments, including acute myoloid leukemia (AML), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia (a precursor to AML).

According to the National Cancer Institute, more than 12,000 cases of AML are diagnosed annually and many workers and consumers are exposed to Benzene daily.

In the United States, Benzene is one of the top twenty most produced chemicals. In 1994 it was even ranked seventeenth in U.S. chemical production, with over 14.5 billion pounds being produced throughout the country. This chemical is used in the production of a variety of products which include cigarettes, rubber, detergents, plastics, paints, pesticides, gasoline, drugs, and the making of other chemicals.

Hundreds of thousands of workers in the United States are exposed to Benzene every year while in their place of work. When workers wear articles of clothing that are contaminated with Benzene, they are placing their family members at risk for Benzene exposure. Various cancers, Leukemia, blood disease, infertility, and many other serious medical conditions have been linked to Benzene exposure.
