Benzene is a chemical derived from petroleum and coal and found in gasoline and other fuels. It is also one of the most commonly used chemicals in the manufacturing of pesticides, plastics, and other substances, as well as for a number of industrial purposes. Although widely used, Benzene is a hazardous chemical that has been classified as a known carcinogen.
Benzene exposure, particularly in the workplace, has been linked to the development of debilitating and fatal conditions, including leukemia. Short-term exposure to high levels of the chemical can also cause dizziness, drowsiness, loss of consciousness, and death.
At Kalfus & Nachman PC, our Virginia benzene exposure attorneys represent victims who have suffered injury and illnesses due to benzene exposure in the workplace or other settings, as well as families who have lost loved ones as a result of fatal conditions brought about by short- or long-term exposure to benzene. If you have questions about your rights and whether you may have grounds to pursue a benzene exposure lawsuit, our team is readily available to help.

Benzene Exposure, Cancer & Other Diseases
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services first classified benzene as a carcinogen, or cancer-causing substance, in 1980. Over the years, studies have indicated that benzene exposure – ranging from under 5 years to over 30 years – substantially increases risks of developing leukemia and other diseases. Even relatively short-term exposure (around 1 year) can result in conditions involving blood production and bone marrow, such as anemia, excessive bleeding, and immune system deficiencies.
Diseases associated with benzene exposure include:
- Acute Myelogenous Leukemia
- Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
- Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
- Aplastic Anemia
- Myelodysplasias
