[Exposure to benzene of service station employees and composition of benzene]

Abstract
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies gasoline vapours and exhaust fumes from gasoline fueled automobiles as potential human carcinogens. Data on the chemical composition of gasoline marketed in Italy and especially on the concentration of benzene, are rather poor. Within the framework of an investigation aimed at assessing the mean annual level of exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons among gasoline pump attendants, ... The mean benzene exposure level (8 h TWA) of the 27 subjects under study was 1.73 mg/m3 (SD = 5.53). ..."

density of air at sea level = 1.229 kg/cubic meter = 1229 g/cubic meter

(.00173 g/1229 g) x 1e9 = 1408 ppb

Being on the LA coast is like living at a gas station on some days!

I can't see the videos, were is this now? How widespread is it?

I guess it really doesn't matter since it is only going to get worse and more widespread at an accelerating pace.
