Le benz\u00e8ne est un compos\u00e9 chimique organique qui est incolore et a une odeur sucr\u00e9e. Il est hautement inflammable et s'\u00e9vapore rapidement dans l'air. \u00c9tant un compos\u00e9 chimique toxique, le benz\u00e8ne est canc\u00e9rig\u00e8ne et peut causer de nombreux probl\u00e8mes de sant\u00e9 dangereux.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Le benz\u00e8ne peut \u00eatre trouv\u00e9 dans le p\u00e9trole brut, l'essence, la fum\u00e9e de cigarette et les \u00e9missions des v\u00e9hicules \u00e0 moteur, et il est utilis\u00e9 comme solvant industriel dans la fabrication de peintures, de colorants, de d\u00e9tergents, de cire pour meubles, de plastiques, de caoutchouc, de r\u00e9sines, de nylon, de colles, de lubrifiants, pesticides et de nombreux autres produits et produits chimiques.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Outdoor air contains benzene from cigarette smoke, motor vehicle emissions, gas stations and industrial emissions, but they all create very low levels of benzene. Higher benzene levels can be found in indoor environments, specifically in manufacturing companies that either make it or use it to produce heavy chemicals or other products mentioned above.<\/p>\n You can be exposed to dangerous levels of benzene if you are a chemical worker who is in contact with it on a daily basis, especially if you are a gasoline hauler. Hazardous waste sites and gas stations can also be dangerous concerning benzene.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Short-term exposure to benzene through inhalation directly affects the central nervous system, but it doesn\u2019t have any long-term dangerous effects to health. Short-term benzene exposure through skin contact also doesn\u2019t have harmful effects, and the same goes for ingesting a small amount of liquid benzene.<\/p>\n However, ingesting a larger amount of liquid benzene can be fatal. Also, long-term exposure to benzene can lead to many serious diseases, all linked to leukemia, lymphoma and other forms of cancer. Benzene can severely damage the immune system and cause the loss of white blood cells, and it can also affect bone marrow and cause a decrease in the production of red blood cells.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Si vous avez inhal\u00e9 un niveau \u00e9lev\u00e9 de benz\u00e8ne, vous pouvez ressentir les sympt\u00f4mes suivants :<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Si vous avez ing\u00e9r\u00e9 des aliments ou des boissons \u00e0 forte teneur en benz\u00e8ne, vous pouvez ressentir les sympt\u00f4mes suivants :<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Si votre peau ou vos yeux ont \u00e9t\u00e9 en contact direct avec du benz\u00e8ne, vous pouvez ressentir une irritation, des rougeurs et des l\u00e9sions tissulaires.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n If you were exposed to the air where benzene has evaporated, you need to move to a safe area with fresh air immediately, so that you don\u2019t get exposed to high levels of benzene, which can be fatal.<\/p>\n Afterwards, make sure you remove your contaminated clothes, putting them in a plastic bag, and thoroughly wash your entire body. Make sure you contact your local health department right afterwards in order to receive proper medical care, as well as to give them the plastic bag with your clothes, because they will know how to properly and safely dispose of it.<\/p>\n If you have ingested a certain amount of benzene, make sure you don\u2019t vomit, even though you may feel like it. This is because the vomit may get sucked into your lungs and cause serious damage. Also, don\u2019t drink any fluids. Instead, go and see a doctor immediately, as they will provide you with proper medical attention.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Si vous pensez avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 expos\u00e9 au benz\u00e8ne sur votre lieu de travail, vous pouvez d\u00e9poser une demande d'indemnisation des travailleurs pour exposition au benz\u00e8ne<\/a>.
