The Law Firm of Motley Rice LLC Legal services for victims of benzene exposure Motley Rice represents people who suffer from leukemia and other blood disorders caused by exposure to benzene. We have also represented clients exposed to benzene in jet fuel leaks.

Benzene is a widely used chemical formed from both natural processes and human activities. Breathing benzene can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and unconsciousness; long-term benzene exposure causes effects on the bone marrow and can cause anemia and leukemia. Benzene has been found in at least 813 of the 1,430 National Priorities List sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

How might I be exposed to benzene?
  • Outdoor air contains low levels of benzene from tobacco smoke, automobile service stations, exhaust from motor vehicles, and industrial emissions.
  • Indoor air generally contains higher levels of benzene from products that contain it such as glues, paints, furniture wax, and detergents.
  • Air around hazardous waste sites or gas stations will contain higher levels of benzene.
  • Leakage from underground storage tanks or from hazardous waste sites containing benzene can result in benzene contamination of well water.
  • People working in industries that make or use benzene may be exposed to the highest levels of it.
  • A major source of benzene exposure is tobacco smoke.
