Benzene is known an omnipresent pollutant, a common industrial chemical and a prominent constituent of gasoline, tobacco smoke and engine emission [1,2]. Human population exposes to benzene includes petrochemical workers, petrol station attendants, glue workers, rubber industry workers and smokers etc. [1,3]. In 1987, Classification of International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) depicts benzene as a group-I carcinogen [4]. Exposure to benzene results in aplastic anemia, dysfunction of the immune system and leukemia [5]. Benzene is naturally occurring component of petroleum products and present in gasoline (petrol), thus petrol station workers are most likely to be affected from benzene toxicity [6]. Rahman et al. [7] and Barbera et al. [8] have reported benzene poisoning when benzene is stupefied with ethyl alcohol in medico-legal poisoning like accidental and homicidal cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
