built 268 days ago
Benzene causes leukemia. The Federal Environmental Protection Agency classifies Benzene as a known human carcinogen. Even the companies who produce it and their industry lobbying groups agree on the danger. They confine their dispute to how much Benzene the body can take and over how long a period before cancer, illness and death occurs.
