“…[15,16] From the present study, it was suggested that exposure to fuel smell leads to restrictive type of lung disease in petrol pump worker along with that might increase in years of exposure to petrol pump leads more marked changes in pulmonary functioning. [5] It is also suggested that pre-employment and periodical monitoring of pulmonary functions of petrol pump workers. So that, early detection and subsequent treatment of pulmonary diseases will be possible.…”

“…These particles are deposited in large amount and deeper into the lung. As a result, the transport of oxygen to cells is slow down as they form methemoglobin, resulting in functional anemia [6]. Benzene metabolism is taken place in the liver and bone marrow; hence, these are the main sites for benzene toxicity.…”
