Benzene Exposure

Benzene works by causing cells not to work correctly. For example, it can cause bone marrow not to produce enough red blood cells, which can lead to anemia. Also, it can damage the immune system by changing blood levels of antibodies and causing the loss of white blood cells. The seriousness of poisoning caused by benzene depends on the amount, route, and length of time of exposure, as well as the age and preexisting medical condition of the exposed person.

Exposure to high levels of benzene has been associated with cases of leukemia, (cancer of the blood or bone morrow), including Acute myelogenous leukemia AML), Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CLM), and Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), Hairy cell leukemia (HCL), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), Hodgkin's disease, and Multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Individuals who breathe in high levels of benzene may develop the following signs and symptoms within minutes to several hours:

Drowsiness
Dizziness
Rapid or irregular heartbeat
Headaches
Tremors
Confusion
Unconsciousness
Death (at very high levels)

Eating foods or drinking beverages containing high levels of benzene can cause the following symptoms within minutes to several hours:
