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...
متن کاملMyelodysplastic 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 ...
متن کاملLeukemia mortality by cell type in petroleum workers with potential exposure to benzene.
Workers in the petroleum industry are potentially exposed to a variety of petrochemicals, including benzene or benzene-containing liquids. Although a large number of studies of petroleum workers have been conducted to examine leukemia and other cancer risks, few existing studies have investigated cell-type-specific leukemias. One of the major reasons for the lack of cell-type-specific analysis ...
متن کاملLymphohaematopoietic malignancies and quantitative estimates of exposure to benzene in Canadian petroleum distribution workers.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relation between mortality from lymphohaematopoietic cancer and long term, low level exposures to benzene among male petroleum distribution workers. METHODS This nested case control study identified all fatal cases of lymphohaematopoietic cancer among a previously studied cohort. Of the 29 cases, 14 had leukaemia, seven multiple myeloma, and eight non-Hodgkin's lymph...
متن کاملLymphocyte chromosome breakage in low benzene exposure among Indonesian workers
Latar belakang: Benzena sudah digunakan sejak lama dalam industri dan penggunaannya cenderung meningkat sehingga memerlukan pengendalian. Walaupun benzena industri dikendalikan < 1 ppm, namun efeknya masih terlihat, antara lain berupa patahan kromosom limfosit. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi patahan kromosom limfosit sebagai efek pajanan benzena kurang 1 ppm di lingkungan kerja, dan fakt...
