Benzene Poisoning

Prognostic aspects of benzene poisoning.

seven persons were heavily exposed, and more than IOO had abnormal blood counts. One died and IO required hospital treatment. This paper deals with a re-examination of the involved workers nine years later. One hundred and twenty-five persons attended for re-examination. Eight had died, two refused, and i i could not be located. The possibility of death due to benzene poisoning having occurred ...

Erythroleukaemic myelosis in benzene poisoning.

The work reported in this paper was an attempt to elucidate the pathology of a case of acute leukaemia in a workman engaged in an operation which exposed him to a notable inhalation of benzene vapour. Chronic intoxication with benzene is classically regarded as a cause of aplastic anamia, but the fact that atypical cases arise referable to the same cause has made it necessary to extend the toxi...

Indirect validation of benzene exposure assessment by association with benzene poisoning.

We present a validation study of a quantitative retrospective exposure assessment method used in a follow-up study of workers exposed to benzene. Assessment of exposure to benzene was carried out in 672 factories in 12 cities in China. Historical exposure data were collected for 3179 unique job titles. The basic unit for exposure assessment was a factory/work unit/job title combination over sev...
