El benceno es un compuesto qu\u00edmico org\u00e1nico que es incoloro y tiene un olor dulce. Es altamente inflamable y se evapora r\u00e1pidamente en el aire. Al ser un compuesto qu\u00edmico t\u00f3xico, el benceno es cancer\u00edgeno y puede causar muchos problemas de salud peligrosos.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n El benceno se puede encontrar en el petr\u00f3leo crudo, la gasolina, el humo del cigarrillo y las emisiones de los veh\u00edculos automotores, y se usa como solvente industrial en la fabricaci\u00f3n de pinturas, tintes, detergentes, cera para muebles, pl\u00e1sticos, caucho, resinas, nailon, pegamentos, lubricantes, pesticidas y muchos otros productos y qu\u00edmicos.<\/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 ha inhalado un alto nivel de benceno, puede experimentar los siguientes s\u00edntomas:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Si ha ingerido alimentos o bebidas con niveles altos de benceno, puede experimentar los siguientes s\u00edntomas:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Si su piel u ojos han estado en contacto directo con el benceno, puede experimentar irritaci\u00f3n, enrojecimiento y lesiones en los tejidos.<\/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 cree que ha estado expuesto al benceno en su lugar de trabajo, puede presentar una reclamo de compensaci\u00f3n de trabajadores por exposici\u00f3n al benceno<\/a>.
