Benzene is widely used in motor fuels, solvents for resins and plastics, and other industrial applications. Despite its known dangers, some companies have historically failed to warn workers and the public about the risks associated with benzene exposure.
Recent Legal Developments
A recent lawsuit verdict highlights the importance of holding companies accountable. Paul Gill, a mechanic from Philadelphia, developed acute myeloid leukemia after being exposed to benzene while working at a service station.
