有害性の概要Benzene is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor. It evaporates into the air very quickly and dissolves slightly in water. It is highly flammable and is formed from both natural processes and human activities. Benzene is widely used in the United Statesit ranks in the top 20 chemicals for production volume. Some industries use benzene to make other chemicals which are used to make plastics, resins, and nylon and synthetic fibers. Benzene is also used to make some types of rubbers, lubricants, dyes, detergents, drugs, and pesticides. Natural sources of benzene include volcanoes and forest fires. Benzene is also a natural part of crude oil, gasoline, and cigarette smoke.Benzene is found in the air from emissions from burning coal and oil, gasoline service stations, and motor vehicle exhaust. Acute (short-term) inhalation exposure of humans to benzene may cause drowsiness, dizziness, headaches, as well as eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation, and, at high levels, unconsciousness. Chronic (long-term) inhalation exposure has caused various disorders in the blood, including reduced numbers of red blood cells and aplastic anemia, in occupational settings. Reproductive effects have been reported for women exposed by inhalation to high levels, and adverse effects on the developing fetus have been observed in animal tests. Increased incidence of leukemia (cancer of the tissues that form white blood cells) have been observed in humans occupationally exposed to benzene. EPA has classified benzene as known human carcinogen for all routes of exposure.The final OSHA Benzene standard in 1910.1028 applies to all occupational exposures to benzene except some subsegments of industry where exposures are consistently under the action level (i.e., distribution and sales of fuels, sealed containers and pipelines, coke production, oil and gas drilling and production, natural gas processing, and the percentage exclusion for liquid mixtures)[NIOSH Pocket Guide Appendix] As an organic solvent, benzene can induce narcosis and anesthesia acutely. After chronic exposure, it can cause aplastic anemia and leukemia. [ACGIH] Exposure to benzene has been associated with development of a particular type of leukemia called acute myeloid leukemia (AML). [ATSDR Public Health Statement: Benzene] There is sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of benzene. Benzene causes acute myeloid leukaemia/acute non-lymphocytic leukaemia. [IARC Monograph Volume 100F (2012)] The WHO classification of AML includes Acute erythroid leukemia and Acute monocytic leukemia. [www.cancer.org] Significant benzene exposure increases the risk of leukemia during the 10 years following exposure. Risk is not related to exposures that occurred greater than 20 years prior to the onset of disease. [PMID 10861761] The highest exposures (mean of 11 ppm) in petroleum refinery workers occur in disconnecting cargo loading hoses, and respiratory protection is required. [PMID 20941467] Workers exposed to products containing <0.1% benzene are not likely to be exposed above the TLV of 0.5 ppm. [PMID 18615290] Our results confirmed the association between high-level benzene exposures and leukemia risks, and provided further evidence of a threshold effect and relevant exposure window. [PMID 27058483] See Hospital-Based Case-Control Study of MDS Subtypes and Benzene Exposure in Shanghai. [PMID 28146040] In high-dose animal reproductive studies, benzene increases sperm abnormalities, fetal loss, and delayed ossification. [Frazier]

処分方法Generators of waste (equal to or greater than 100 kg/mo) containing this contaminant, EPA hazardous waste number F005, U019, D018, must conform with USEPA regulations in storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste.SRP: Wastewater from contaminant suppression, cleaning of protective clothing/equipment, or contaminated sites should be contained and evaluated for subject chemical or decomposition product concentrations. Concentrations shall be lower than applicable environmental discharge or disposal criteria. Alternatively, pretreatment and/or discharge to a permitted wastewater treatment facility is acceptable only after review by the governing authority and assurance that "pass through" violations will not occur. Due consideration shall be given to remediation worker exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion) as well as fate during treatment, transfer and disposal. If it is not practicable to manage the chemical in this fashion, it must be evaluated in accordance with EPA 40 CFR Part 261, specifically Subpart B, in order to determine the appropriate local, state and federal requirements for disposal.Biodegradation, incineration: Benzene is biodegradable. Diluted aqueous soln, therefore, are drained into sewage treatment plants and decomposed there by anaerobic bacteria. Solvent mixtures and sludges of higher concn are burnt in special waste incinerators if a recovery process is uneconomical.This flammable liquid burns with a very smoky flame. Dilution with alcohol or acetone is suggested to minimize smoke. Recommendable methods: Use as boiler fuel, incineration. Not recommendable: Landfill, discharge to sewer.For more Disposal Methods (Complete) data for BENZENE (31 total), please visit the HSDB record page.
毒性学的情報CDC-ATSDR Toxicological Profile
体内負荷Benzene was detected in all 8 samples of mothers' milk from women living in 4 USA urban areas(1). Breath samples from persons without specific exposure to benzene ranged from 8 to 20 ppb(2). Whole blood samples from 250 subjects (121 males, 129 females) ranged from not detected to 5.9 ppb, (mean 0.8 ppb)(3). In FY82, the National Human Adipose Tissue Survey specimens found that of 46 composite samples, 96% tested positive to benzene (concentrations were >4 ppb for wet tissue) with a max concentration of 97 ppb max(4).In a 1980's study of non-occupational benzene exposure, it was found that smokers had an average benzene body burden about 6 to 10 times that of nonsmokers, and received about 90% of their benzene exposure from smoking(1). The mean benzene concentration found in the breath and blood of 1,683 individuals was 13.1 and 131 ng/L, respectively(1).
TreatmentThere is no known antidote for benzene and poisoning is first treated by preventing further exposure. If inhaled, respiratory assist may be necessary. If ingested, gastric lavage may be performed, or activated charcoal can be administered. (T8)
Cancer SitesHematologic[leukemia]
相互作用Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) enhanced the hypertaurinuria produced by benzene, chlorobenzene, and toluene in rats. Undiluted DMSO was more effective than DMSO diluted with water in potentiating the toxicity of benzene in both rats and mice. Supernatants (9000g) prepared from livers of rats treated with DMSO 24 hours earlier metabolized more benzene than those from control rats.Benzene & ethanol induced a common cytochrome P450 species in rabbit liver specifically effective in hydroxyl radical-mediated oxygenation of ethanol. Benzene oxidation by the benzene-inducible form of cytochrome P450 was almost completely inhibited by catalase, superoxide dismutase, DMSO, & mannitol.Simultaneous treatments with both benzene and toluene, or benzene and piperonyl butoxide, increased the excretion of unchanged benzene in the expired air. These compounds apparently act by inhibiting benzene metabolism.Toluene, Aroclor 1254, phenobarbital, acetone, and ethanol are known to alter the metabolism and toxicity of benzene.For more Interactions (Complete) data for BENZENE (13 total), please visit the HSDB record page.

環境中動態TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), a Koc value of 85(2), indicates that benzene is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of benzene from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given a Henry's Law constant of 5.56X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(3). The potential for volatilization of benzene from dry soil surfaces may exist(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 94.8 mm Hg(4). Using a base-rich para-brownish soil incubated for 10 weeks, 20 ppm benzene was 24% degraded in 1 week, 44% in 5 weeks, and 47% in 10 weeks(5), indicating that biodegradation may be an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC). Anaerobic degradation of benzene in soil is not expected to be an important loss process based on various studies(6,7). In one study of chemical biotransformation under nitrate- and sulfate-reducing conditions, benzene was found to be stable for 60 days(6). In a related study, benzene did not undergo biodegradation in situ nor in laboratory controlled soil samples under denitrifying conditions(7).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), a Koc value of 85(2), indicates that benzene is not expected to adsorb to sediment and suspended solids in water(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon a Henry's Law constant of 5.56X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(4). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 1 hr and 3.5 days, respectively(SRC). In aqueous solution, benzene will react with hydroxyl radical at a reaction rate of 7.8X10+9 L/mol secusing the average OH radical concentration (1.0X10-17 molec/cu cm), benzene would have a half-life of 103 days(5). According to a classification scheme(6), BCFs ranging from 1.1-20(7) suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 40% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 2 weeks(8) indicating that biodegradation is important environmental fate process in water(SRC). Anaerobic degradation of benzene in water is not expected to be an important loss process based on various studies(9). In one study of chemical biotransformation under nitrate- and sulfate-reducing conditions, benzene was found to be stable for 60 days(5).AQUATIC FATE: Evaporation was the primary loss mechanism in winter in a mesocosm experiment which simulated a northern bay where the half-life was 13 days(1). In spring and summer the half-lives were 23 and 3.1 days, respectively(1). In these cases biodegradation plays a major role and takes about 2 days(1). However, acclimation is critical and this takes much longer in the colder water in spring(1). According to one experiment, benzene has a half-life of 17 days due to photochemical degradation(2) which could contribute to benzene's removal. In situations of cold water, poor nutrients, or other conditions less conducive to microbial growth, photolysis will play a important role in degradation(SRC). The half-life of benzene in sea water is about 5 hrs(3) based on its Henry's Law constant of 5.56X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(4). The average first-order rate constant for elimination of benzene in the epilimnion region of Lake Zurich, Switzerland during summer (boating season) is 0.080/day(5).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), benzene, which has a vapor pressure of 94.8 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase benzene is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 13 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.23X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). The half-life in polluted atmospheres which contain nitrogen oxides or sulfur dioxide has been observed to shorten to 4-6 hrs(4). Vapor-phase benzene is also degraded in the atmosphere by atmospheric ozone radicals at an extremely slow ratethe half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 170,000 days(5). The reaction rate of benzene with nitrate radical in the atmosphere is estimated to be less than 0.3X10-16 cu cm/molecule sec at 25 °C(3)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be greater than or equal to 111 days based on an average concentration of nitrate radicals of 2.4X10+8 molec/cu cm(6). A half-life of 16.9 days was reported for photolysis of benzene dissolved in deionized water saturated with air exposed to sunlight(7). Due to benzene's high water solubility, it may be removed from the atmosphere by rainfall(8).
食品調査値Benzene was found in both heat treated and canned beef at 2 ug/kgin Jamaican rum at 120 ug/kgin eggs ranging from 500-1900 ug/kgand it was detected (concns not specified) in fruits, nuts, vegetables, dairy products, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and beverages(1).In 1990, benzene was detected in fruit flavored mineral waters at concentrations greater than 5.0 ug/kg in Canada(1). When an investigation of benzene concentrations in beverages was performed, benzene was found at an average concentration of 0.042, 0.67, 0.056, 0.14, 0.29, 0.12, 0.95, 0.062, 0.79, and 0.55 ug/kg in freshly squeezed fruit, retail juice (with benzoate additive), retail juice (without benzoate), fruit drinks (with benzoate), fruit drinks (with cranberry, without benzoate), fruit drinks (excluding cranberry, without benzoate), cranberry drinks (without benzoate), carbonated soft drinks (without benzoate), carbonated soft drinks (with benzoate), and ice tea (with benzoate), respectively(1). These data suggest the natural occurrence of benzene in fruits and fruit juices, especially from cranberries(1). Benzene is a volatile organic compound emitted by both common and pineapple guava at a concentration of 0.10 ug/g(2).

RCRA 要件D018A solid waste containing benzene may or may not become characterized as a hazardous waste when subjected to the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure listed in 40 CFR 261.24, and if so characterized, must be managed as a hazardous waste.F005When benzene is a spent solvent, it is classified as a hazardous waste from a nonspecific source (F005), as stated in 40 CFR 261.31, and must be managed according to State and/or Federal hazardous waste regulations.U019As stipulated in 40 CFR 261.33, when benzene, as a commercial chemical product or manufacturing chemical intermediate or an off-specification commercial chemical product or a manufacturing chemical intermediate, becomes a waste, it must be managed according to Federal and/or State hazardous waste regulations. Also defined as a hazardous waste is any residue, contaminated soil, water, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into water or on dry land, of this waste. Generators of small quantities of this waste may qualify for partial exclusion from hazardous waste regulations (40 CFR 261.5).
大気基準National emission standard for equipment leaks (fugitive emission sources) of benzene prohibit detectable benzene emissions from processing equipment (eg, pumps, valves) that contains materials which have a benzene concn of 10% or more by wt.This action promulgates standards of performance for equipment leaks of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI). The intended effect of these standards is to require all newly constructed, modified, and reconstructed SOCMI process units to use the best demonstrated system of continuous emission reduction for equipment leaks of VOC, considering costs, non air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements. Benzene is produced, as an intermediate or a final product, by process units covered under this subpart.Benzene has been designated as a hazardous air pollutant under section 112 of the Clean Air Act.Listed as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP) generally known or suspected to cause serious health problems. The Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, directs EPA to set standards requiring major sources to sharply reduce routine emissions of toxic pollutants. EPA is required to establish and phase in specific performance based standards for all air emission sources that emit one or more of the listed pollutants. Benzene is included on this list.
