Why Ban Benzene?

Benzene is a highly dangerous carcinogen. As the American Petroleum Institute stated as early as 1948, "it is generally considered that the only absolutely safe concentration for benzene is zero."[1] As such we consider its current widespread usage as an all out assault on workers' right to health. Benzene is not irreplaceable; human lives are.

However, you might not know what benzene really is, what are its harm effects, or have doubts about the feasibility of a benzene ban. Here we have collected some data, laws and information about the use of benzene, so as to give you a clearer rationale of our campaign.
