Omkring 1.000.000 arbejdere i EU er udsat for benzen i industrier, der fremstiller eller bruger benzen. Benzen er klassificeret som carcinogen kategori 1A, hvilket betyder, at det er en bevist \u00e5rsag til kr\u00e6ft hos mennesker. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Forbindelsen mellem benzen og kr\u00e6ft har i h\u00f8j grad fokuseret p\u00e5 leuk\u00e6mi og andre former for kr\u00e6ft i blodceller. Den vigtigste m\u00e5de, folk uds\u00e6ttes for benzen p\u00e5, er ved at ind\u00e5nde luft, der indeholder benzen. Benzen kan ogs\u00e5 optages gennem huden ved kontakt med en kilde som f.eks. benzin, selv om det er mindre almindeligt, fordi flydende benzen fordamper hurtigt. <\/p>\n

Hvor risici opst\u00e5r<\/h2>\n

Industrier, der producerer eller bruger Benzen, omfatter erhverv, hvor olie og gas produceres, raffineres, distribueres og s\u00e6lges, og hvor der bruges olieprodukter. Andre erhverv med potentiel eksponering er koksproduktion, fremstilling og brug af kemikalier (herunder visse sm\u00f8remidler, farvestoffer, reng\u00f8ringsmidler, l\u00e6gemidler og pesticider), reparation af biler, produktion af fodt\u00f8j, brandbek\u00e6mpelse og forskellige erhverv, der involverer eksponering for udst\u00f8dningsgasser fra forbr\u00e6ndingsmotorer. <\/p>\n

Desuden kan st\u00e5larbejdere, trykkeriarbejdere, laboratorieteknikere og arbejdere i solvarmeanl\u00e6g blive eksponeret, da benzen dannes ved nedbrydning af varmeoverf\u00f8rselsv\u00e6sken.<\/p>\n

Mere om stoffet<\/h2>\n

Benzen er et farvel\u00f8st eller lysegult flydende kemikalie ved stuetemperatur. Det fordamper hurtigt, n\u00e5r det uds\u00e6ttes for luft. Det bruges prim\u00e6rt som opl\u00f8sningsmiddel i den kemiske og farmaceutiske industri, som udgangsmateriale og mellemprodukt i syntesen af mange kemikalier, herunder plast, sm\u00f8remidler, gummi, farvestoffer, reng\u00f8ringsmidler, l\u00e6gemidler og pesticider. <\/p>\n

B\u00e5de naturlige og menneskeskabte processer producerer Benzen. Det er en naturlig bestanddel af r\u00e5olie og benzin (og dermed udst\u00f8dning fra motork\u00f8ret\u00f8jer) samt tobaksr\u00f8g. Andre naturlige kilder omfatter gasemissioner fra vulkaner og skovbrande. <\/p>\n

Farer, der kan opst\u00e5<\/h2>\n

Kronisk eksponering for Benzen skader hovedsageligt knoglemarven, de bl\u00f8de, indre dele af knoglerne, hvor der dannes nye blodlegemer. Dette kan resultere i an\u00e6mi (et lavt antal r\u00f8de blodlegemer), som kan f\u00e5 en person til at f\u00f8le sig svag og tr\u00e6t, et lavt antal hvide blodlegemer, som kan neds\u00e6tte kroppens evne til at bek\u00e6mpe infektioner og forskellige typer leuk\u00e6mi. Der er ogs\u00e5 beskrevet skadelige virkninger p\u00e5 immunsystemet og forplantningssystemet, f.eks. forstyrrelser i menstruationscyklusserne. <\/p>\n

Ud over de carcinogene effekter p\u00e5 knoglemarven kan Benzen give andre akutte og kroniske helbredseffekter. Kortvarig eksponering for h\u00f8je koncentrationer kan f\u00f8re til symptomer som svimmelhed, kvalme, hovedpine, kramper, bevidstl\u00f8shed og hjerteforstyrrelser. Det kan ogs\u00e5 v\u00e6re moderat \u00f8jen- og hudirriterende. Rygning \u00f8ger risikoen, da cigaretr\u00f8g er en vigtig kilde til eksponering for Benzen. <\/p>\n

Det er vigtigt at v\u00e6re klar over, at latenstiden mellem eksponering og Benzen-relateret kr\u00e6ft varierer fra et til 10 \u00e5r.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hvad du kan g\u00f8re<\/h2>\n

Den bedste l\u00f8sning er at kontrollere eksponeringen ved eliminering eller substitution, f.eks. ved at erstatte benzen med et andet opl\u00f8sningsmiddel eller ved at indkapsle benzenkilden. Anvend passende tekniske risikostyringsforanstaltninger, der er tilg\u00e6ngelige for de forskellige processer, til at kontrollere eksponeringen (f.eks. ventilation), og tjek dine organisatoriske risikoreduktionsstrategier. Udf\u00f8r korrekte eksponeringsm\u00e5linger, s\u00e5 det vides, hvorn\u00e5r der skal tr\u00e6ffes foranstaltninger. Informer arbejderne om risici og forebyggende foranstaltninger. Undg\u00e5 hudkontakt. <\/p>\n

Personlig beskyttelse b\u00f8r ikke bruges som den eneste forebyggende foranstaltning. S\u00e5 mange af de ovenn\u00e6vnte tekniske og organisatoriske foranstaltninger som muligt skal v\u00e6re gennemf\u00f8rt p\u00e5 forh\u00e5nd. S\u00f8rg for, at der bruges den rette personlige beskyttelse. Ved valg af udstyr skal der desuden tages hensyn til anatomien hos de arbejdere, der skal bruge det, og i tilf\u00e6lde af \u00e5ndedr\u00e6tsv\u00e6rn baseret p\u00e5 ansigtstilpasning anbefales det st\u00e6rkt, at der udf\u00f8res en tilpasningstest p\u00e5 hver person. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","carcinogens":[4063],"class_list":["post-76906","fact","type-fact","status-publish","hentry","carcinogens-benzen-da"],"yoast_head":"\nBenzen - STOP carcinogens at work<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ca. 1.000.000 arbejdere i EU er eksponeret i industrien.
