Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To assess the health risk of exposure to benzene for a community affected by a fuel leak. METHODS: Data regarding the fuel leak accident with, which occurred in the Brasilia, Federal District, were obtained from the Fuel Distributor reports provided to the environmental authority. Information about the affected population (22 individuals) was obtained from focal groups of eight individuals. Length of exposure and water benzene concentration were estimated through a groundwater flow model associ… Show more

“…The personal susceptibility factor also needs to be taken into account when considering the reason for the non-significant relationship found between the concentration of S-PMA and number of leukocytes in this study. Human susceptibility to benzene toxicity differs per person (Santos et al, 2013). Therefore, research related to susceptibility biomarkers.…”

“…acid (S-PMA) concentration in urine is considered to be the most sensitive, specific, and reliable method for measuring benzene exposure (Farmer et al, 2005;Perbellini, Veronese, & Princivalle, 2002;Santos et al, 2013). Sukajaya Village is one of the largest shoe producers in the informal industry in West Java (Ekasari & Arminsih, 2019).…”

“…It is also hematotoxic and can cause anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, pancytopenia, and aplastic anemia (Santos, Tavora, Koide, & Caldas, 2013). Leukocytes play a role in the body's defense system, so disruption to their production and a decrease in their levels can negatively affect the body's ability to ward off disease (Santos et al, 2013). S-phenylmercapturic acid (S-PMA) concentration in urine is considered to be the most sensitive, specific, and reliable method for measuring benzene exposure (Farmer et al, 2005;Perbellini, Veronese, & Princivalle, 2002;Santos et al, 2013).…”
