“…[11][12][13][14][15] According to existing evidence, petroleum hydrocarbons have the potential to cause deoxyribo nucleic acid (DNA) damage in gasoline-exposed individuals and exposure to petrol vapor induces genotoxic effects, confirming that the gas station workers have a high risk of cancer due to their daily occupational exposure. 17,20,21 Once gasoline is inhaled, benzene, as the main ingredient of gasoline, enters the lungs then is passed to the blood stream from which it goes to the liver, where three main phenolic metabolites of benzene are released, transient phenol and accumulated hydroquinone and catechol, in relatively high concentrations. 18,19 Benzene is a lipophilic agent, so its metabolites go directly to fatty tissues such as bone marrow where actual toxic species are generated.…”

“…The exposure group was divided into subgroups according to their working durations (<5, 5–20, and >20 years). Although DNA damage was significantly greater in the group working for less than 5 years and between 5 and 20 years, there was no significant increase in DNA damage in workers exposed for more than 20 years (Beceren et al, 2016). Similar to these studies, we divided individuals into two subgroups according to their duration of work (less than 7 years, and 7 years and more).…”

“…The majority of these studies have argued that this exposure would pose a future health risk for workers and might be classified as cancer susceptibility (Filho et al, 2018). As for Turkey, there are only three studies investigating the possible genotoxic effects of benzene and related chemicals in gasoline station attendants (Beceren et al, 2016; Celik and Akbaş, 2005; Celik et al, 2003).…”
