Acute myeloid and chronic lymphoid leukaemias and exposure to low-level benzene among petroleum workers

Acute myeloid and monocytic leukaemia and benzene exposure in petroleum distribution workers in the United Kingdom.

The relationship between low-level benzene exposure and leukemia in Canadian petroleum distribution workers.

This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between leukemia occurrence and long-term, low-level benzene exposures in petroleum distribution workers. Fourteen cases were identified among a previously studied cohort [Schnatter et al., Environ Health Perspect 101 (Suppl 6):85-89 (1993)]. Four controls per case were selected from the same cohort, controlling for birth year and time at ri...

The effect of respiratory exposure to benzene, toluene, xylene and ethyl benzene on the spirometric indices among the petroleum products loading workers

Abstract Background and Aim: Benzene, toluene, xylene and ethyl benzene (BTEX) are the most important aromatic compounds in petroleum products. BTEX compounds due to their high vapor pressure, easily change to gas form and mixed with ambient air. Petroleum products loading workers are exposed to these compounds by the inhalation of BTEX compounds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ef...

Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Benzene Exposure Among Petroleum Workers: An International Pooled Analysis

BACKGROUND Benzene at high concentrations is known to cause acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but its relationship with other lymphohematopoietic (LH) cancers remains uncertain, particularly at low concentrations. In this pooled analysis, we examined the risk of five LH cancers relative to lower levels of benzene exposure in petroleum workers. METHODS We updated three nested case-control studies ...
