Abstract
Overall the evidence from human studies suggests that any risk of leukaemia at concentrations of exposure in the general population of 3.7-42 microg/m(3)-that is at concentrations three orders of magnitude less than the occupational lowest observed effect level-is likely to be exceedingly small and probably not detectable with current methods. This is also likely to be true for infants and children who may be exposed continuously to concentrations of 3.4-5.7 microg/m(3). As yet there is no evidence to suggest that continuous exposures to these environmental concentrations of benzene manifest as any other adverse health effect.
