Article Synopsis
- A review of occupational exposures in the petrochemical industry indicates that while strict regulations exist for benzene, other chemicals may also pose health risks without effective monitoring.
- Research from 1980 to present shows no significant increase in non-cancer-related diseases like hypertension or diabetes among workers, possibly due to the "healthy worker effect," but respiratory and color perception issues are concerning.
- Cancer studies reveal no overall increase in cancer rates among petrochemical workers, except for some skin cancers and leukemia, with potential risk factors like UV exposure and asbestos playing a role in specific cases.
