Guest guest Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 American Journal of Industrial Medicine In the current Italian study, they looked at 586 cases of leukemia found in seven of the regions, comparing chemical exposures for the ill individuals to those for 1,278 controls based on occupation. There was no association between acute myeloid leukemia and benzene, probably, the researchers say, because the disease develops within a relatively short time after exposure, and the cases were diagnosed about 30 years after benzene was " effectively banned " by a 1963 law limiting the amount used in industrial materials to 2 percent. http://www.caring4cancer.com/go/cml/news?NewsItemId=20081118elin005.xml Blessings, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
