Trade association for the oil and natural gas industry. Earlier analysis of the NCI cohort found increased lung cancer deaths among industrial workers compared with the general US.
Lubricants plastics rubbers dyes and other chemicals can be produced with benzene.
Petroleum workers cancer. Many workers might wonder how night shift work could be related to cancer and what workers can do to stay healthy. Biologic clocks and circadian disruption. Many of our biologic systems including our sleep and wake cycle our appetites and digestive patterns our body temperatures and even our moods follow daily patterns or circadian rhythms These cycles are set by circadian.
Workers in industries that make or use benzene may be exposed to this chemical. These include the rubber industry oil refineries chemical plants shoe manufacturers and gasoline-related industries. Benzene is also used to make some types of lubricants dyes detergents drugs and pesticides.
Other people who may be exposed to benzene at work include steel workers printers lab technicians. Petroleum jelly petrolatum white petrolatum soft paraffin or multi-hydrocarbon CAS number 8009-03-8 is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons with carbon numbers mainly higher than 25 originally promoted as a topical ointment for its healing properties. The Vaseline brand is a well known American brand of petroleum jelly since 1870.
After petroleum jelly became a medicine-chest staple. Interestingly even though petroleum refineries utilize and produce chemicals that are known carcinogens the literature on cancer rates among refinery workers is mixed. For example benzene has been shown to have a relationship with leukemia 81 however studies examining benzene exposure and resultant leukemia specifically in the context of oil refinery workers have come to opposing.
Earlier analysis of the NCI cohort found increased lung cancer deaths among industrial workers compared with the general US. However the rate of lung cancer deaths did not increase with higher levels of formaldehyde exposure. This observation led the researchers to conclude that factors other than formaldehyde exposure might have caused the increased deaths.

It was later converted to petroleum jelly then packaged and sold after oil workers found that the white gooey residue appeared to aid in the healing process of burns and cuts on their skin. Kim refers to Vaseline as the quintessential petroleum jelly and we agree. Those mega-sized tubs with blue lids full of a semi-solid substance are what most of us think of when we hear the phrase.
Coal mine workers are exposed to a number of workplace hazards which may increase the risk of cancer and mortality. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate cancer and mortality in coal mine workers We searched in Ovid Medline PubMed Embase and Web of Science databases using keywords and text words related to coal mines cancer and mortality and identified 36. Solvent naphtha petroleum heavy arom.
A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained from distillation of aromatic streams. It consists predominantly of aromatic hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C9 through C16 and boiling in the range of approximately 165C to 290C 330F to 554F. Regulatory process names 12 Translated names 55 CAS names 1 IUPAC.
Benzene is found in products that are made from coal and petroleum. Lubricants plastics rubbers dyes and other chemicals can be produced with benzene. Some examples of workers at risk of benzene exposure include the following.
Factory workers where steel or rubber is made or processed. Workers in the printing industry or who work around printing inks. Fire fighters who come in contact with.

API is the largest US. Trade association for the oil and natural gas industry. This section presents data for the industry on the number of workplace fatalities and the rates of workplace injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers in oil and gas extraction.
An injury or illness is considered to be work-related if an event or exposure in the work environment either caused or contributed to the resulting condition or significantly aggravated a pre-existing condition. Nevertheless it is not clear from these studies whether exposure to PAHs was the main cause as workers were simultaneously exposed to other cancer-causing agents eg. In laboratory studies animals exposed to levels of some PAHs over long periods have developed lung cancer from inhalation stomach cancer from ingesting PAHs in food and skin cancer from skin.
People who work outside such as farm workers gardeners and building site workers are also at an increased risk of non melanoma skin cancer. Skin cancer is more common in fair skinned people because they have less of the protective pigment called melanin. People with darker skin are less likely to get skin cancer.
But they can still get skin cancer. Darker skinned people are. Watch LIVE events from Canada and around the world.
