Benzene (Atmospheric Chemistry)

Is an aromatic hydrocarbon. It can be found in the air by several different ways of transmission. It can be produced for use with plastic or produced through the burning of fossil fuels. Benzene can also be found in the soil as well as some areas of groundwater pollution. Exposure to benzene has been linked to leukemia.

Benzene (Cancer)

A chemical that is used widely by the chemical industry, and is also found in tobacco smoke, vehicle emissions, and gasoline fumes. Exposure to benzene may increase the risk of developing leukemia.

Benzene (Car Care)

Colorless liquid hydrocarbon C6H6, with one ring of carbon atoms. Made from coal tar and by catalytic reforming of naphthyenes, it is used in the manufacture of phenol, styrene, nylon, detergents, aniline, phthalic anhydride, biphenyl, nitrobenzene, chlorbenzene; as a solvent; and as a component of high-octane gasoline.

Benzene (Corrosion)

A chemical that is frequently used in manufacturing and present in industrial fumes. Benzene exposure can cause cancer and other health complications.

Benzene (Energy)

A type of colorless liquid hydrocarbon that can be used as a motor fuel. Its chemical symbol is C6H6.

Benzene (Explosives)

Benzene (C6H6), colorless, flammable toxic liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. A Hydrocarbon, benzene is the parent substance of the Aromatic Compounds. It consists of an unusually stable hexagonal ring of six carbon atoms, each of which is attached to a hydrogen atom. Derivative compounds include toluene, phenol, and aniline. Obtained from coal tar and petroleum, benzene and its derivatives are used in making dyes, drugs, and plastics.

Benzene (Import Cars)

Gasoline

Benzene (Natural Gas)

Flammable, colourless to light yellow volatile aromatic hydrocarbon. A byproduct of cokemaking and other industrial processes, benzene is considered to be a carcinogenic (cancer-causing) substance.

Benzene (Oil)

Flammable, colourless to light yellow volatile aromatic hydrocarbon. A byproduct of cokemaking and other industrial processes, benzene is considered to be a carcinogenic (cancer-causing) substance.

Benzene (Personal Injury)

A chemical that is frequently used in manufacturing and present in industrial fumes. Benzene exposure can cause cancer and other health complications.

Benzene (Shoes)

Benzol - solvent obtained from coal tar. Good solvent for grease and rubber. Used for making rubber solution and has been used for cleaning shoe uppers. Toxic and highly flammable. Ventilation in a working area vitally important. See benzine.
