Omkring 1.000.000 arbejderne i EU uds\u00e6ttes for Benzen i industrier, der fremstiller eller anvender Benzen. Benzen er klassificeret som carcinogen i kategori 1A, hvilket betyder, at det er p\u00e5vist at v\u00e6re \u00e5rsag til kr\u00e6ft hos mennesker. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sammenh\u00e6ngen mellem Benzen og kr\u00e6ft har hovedsageligt v\u00e6ret centreret om leuk\u00e6mi og andre former for kr\u00e6ft i blodcellerne. Den prim\u00e6re eksponeringsvej er ind\u00e5nding af luft, der indeholder Benzen. Benzen kan ogs\u00e5 optages gennem huden ved kontakt med en kilde som f.eks. benzin, selvom dette er mindre almindeligt, da flydende Benzen fordamper hurtigt. <\/p>\n

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

Brancher, der producerer eller anvender Benzen, omfatter erhverv, hvor olie og gas produceres, raffineres, distribueres og s\u00e6lges, samt hvor der anvendes olieprodukter. Andre erhverv med potentiel eksponering er inden for koksproduktion, fremstilling og anvendelse af kemikalier (herunder visse sm\u00f8remidler, farvestoffer, reng\u00f8ringsmidler, l\u00e6gemidler og Pesticider), bilreparation, fremstilling af fodt\u00f8j, brandbek\u00e6mpelse samt forskellige erhverv, der indeb\u00e6rer eksponering for udst\u00f8dningsgasser fra forbr\u00e6ndingsmotorer. <\/p>\n

Desuden omfatter de erhverv, hvor der kan v\u00e6re risiko for eksponering, blandt andet st\u00e5larbejdere, trykkeriarbejdere, Laboratorieteknikere og medarbejdere p\u00e5 solvarmeanl\u00e6g, da Benzen dannes ved nedbrydningen af varmeoverf\u00f8ringsv\u00e6sken.<\/p>\n

Mere om stoffet<\/h2>\n

Benzen er en farvel\u00f8s eller lysegul v\u00e6ske ved stuetemperatur. Det fordamper hurtigt, n\u00e5r det uds\u00e6ttes for luft. Det anvendes prim\u00e6rt som opl\u00f8sningsmiddel i den kemiske og farmaceutiske industri samt som udgangsmateriale og mellemprodukt i syntesen af en lang r\u00e6kke 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

Der g\u00e6lder en EU-bindende gr\u00e6nsev\u00e6rdi for erhvervsm\u00e6ssig eksponering p\u00e5 0,66 mg\/m\u00b3.<\/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 sine carcinogene virkninger p\u00e5 knoglemarven kan Benzen medf\u00f8re andre akutte og kroniske helbredsm\u00e6ssige virkninger. Kortvarig eksponering for h\u00f8je koncentrationer kan f\u00f8re til symptomer som svimmelhed, kvalme, hovedpine, kramper, bevidstl\u00f8shed og hjerteproblemer. Det kan ogs\u00e5 v\u00e6re moderat irriterende for \u00f8jne og hud. Rygning \u00f8ger risikoen, da cigaretr\u00f8g er en v\u00e6sentlig kilde til Benzen-eksponering. <\/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 begr\u00e6nse eksponeringen ved at fjerne eller erstatte stoffet, f.eks. ved at erstatte Benzen med et andet opl\u00f8sningsmiddel eller ved at indkapsle Benzenkilden. Anvend de relevante tekniske risikostyringsforanstaltninger, der er tilg\u00e6ngelige for de forskellige processer, for at begr\u00e6nse eksponeringen (f.eks. ventilation), og gennemg\u00e5 virksomhedens strategier for risikoreduktion. Udf\u00f8r korrekte eksponeringsm\u00e5linger, s\u00e5 det vides, hvorn\u00e5r der skal handles. Informer de ansatte om risiciene og de forebyggende foranstaltninger. Undg\u00e5 hudkontakt. <\/p>\n

Personlig beskyttelse b\u00f8r ikke anvendes som den eneste forebyggende foranstaltning. S\u00e5 mange af de ovenn\u00e6vnte tekniske og organisatoriske foranstaltninger som muligt skal v\u00e6re iv\u00e6rksat p\u00e5 forh\u00e5nd. S\u00f8rg for, at der anvendes korrekt udstyr til personlig beskyttelse. Desuden skal der ved valg af udstyr tages hensyn til de arbejdere, der skal bruge det, og i tilf\u00e6lde af \u00e5ndedr\u00e6tsv\u00e6rn, der er baseret p\u00e5 tilpasning til ansigtet, anbefales det st\u00e6rkt, at der foretages en tilpasningstest p\u00e5 hver enkelt 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=\"Omkring 1.000.000 arbejderi EU er udsat for Benzen i deres arbejde.
