Benzene-Exposed Workers Diagnosed with Benzene-Related Cancers and Diseases
In a rush? You can use our Quick Contact Form to tell us the basic information about your case.
Benzene-exposed workers may develop benzene-related cancers and diseases including acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
It is important that workers and their families understand that a medical diagnosis of AML leukemia or MDS will probably be made many years after one’s last exposure to benzene. This is due to the “latency period”, or lag time, between the person’s benzene exposures while working with or around benzene and their eventual later development of AML leukemia or MDS.
Generally speaking, benzene was used on the job or in the workplace for many different industries. However, significant levels of benzene exposure were more likely for particular types of workers within certain industries. For purposes of determining those possible past benzene exposures, one should keep in mind that benzene can be a colorless liquid with a sweet odor, or a colorless gas.
