Leukemia
Who Is at Risk?
Chronic exposure to certain chemicals may lead to the development
of leukemia. Benzene is a widely used chemical that has been linked
to leukemia. The greatest risk of exposure to high concentrations
of benzene is worksites such as chemical plants and
gasoline-related industries. However, government agencies have
regulated the amount of benzene exposure in the U.S. industry, so
cases of leukemia linked to benzene now are rare in this
country.
