The Distribution and Concentration Monitoring of Benzene Industries — Six PLADs, China, 2020

WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? Benzene is classified as a Class I human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Long-term exposure to benzene increases the risk of chronic benzene poisoning and leukemia. However, benzene is still widely used in the manufacturing indus...

Sumario:WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? Benzene is classified as a Class I human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Long-term exposure to benzene increases the risk of chronic benzene poisoning and leukemia. However, benzene is still widely used in the manufacturing industry. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT? The scale of enterprises most exposed to benzene was small enterprises, and joint-equity enterprises had the highest number that exceeded the permissible concentration-time weighted average. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE? It is still necessary to strengthen the monitoring of benzene concentrations in the manufacturing industry, especially in small enterprises. The occupational exposure limit of benzene should be appropriately reduced.
