Benzene occurs in many substances that we use or come in contact with in our daily lives. It is a colorless and sweet smelling chemical which is highly flammable and evaporates quickly. Low levels can be found in the outside air and comes from cigarette smoke, motor vehicle exhaust, gasoline and industrial emissions. Detergents, glue, paint, and other household solvents can cause a buildup of benzene within closed areas such as homes and offices.
