Bentseeniöljy

Bentseeniöljy, often referred to as benzene oil, is a mixture of hydrocarbons that is primarily composed of benzene. Benzene is a volatile, colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor. It is a fundamental organic chemical and is used as a precursor in the production of a vast array of materials. These include plastics like polystyrene, synthetic fibers such as nylon, and resins. Benzene is also used as a solvent in industries ranging from printing to rubber manufacturing.

The production of bentseeniöljy typically occurs during the refining of crude oil and the coking of coal. These industrial processes yield a complex mixture from which benzene can be isolated. Due to benzene's carcinogenic properties, its presence in consumer products is highly regulated, and its use as an additive in gasoline has been phased out in many regions. Exposure to bentseeniöljy, particularly in industrial settings, requires strict safety protocols to minimize health risks. These risks can include effects on the blood-forming system and an increased likelihood of developing leukemia.
