Benzene Leukemia Resources

Benzene Information:

    • http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/benzene/
      OSHA page dedicated to Benzene.
      There is a wealth of information here. You can find links to products that have benzene, Access Manufacturers Data Sheets on their products.

 

    • http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/roc/tenth/profiles/s019benz.pdf This is a copy of the tenth report on Carcinogens to Congress done by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is an in-depth discussion of Benzene and how it causes cancer. It is very scientific but has a great deal of information contained in the report. The report is in .pdf format which means you need Adobe to read the report. Adobe Reader is a free program you can download from www.adobe.com.

 

Leukemia Information:

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. www.leukemia.org
This is an Excellent Website. I highly recommend it. The following five links on the specific types of Leukemia are from their website:

 

 

  • Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia
    http://www.leukemia.org/all_page?item_id=7049
    About 3,600 new cases of acute lymphocytic leukemia
    (ALL) are diagnosed each year in the United States and is the most
    common type of leukemia under the age of 19
