Injuries from Benzene Exposure
Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)
AML is an aggressive cancer that affects human bone marrow and its ability to produce healthy new blood cells. Under normal circumstances, bone marrow produces large numbers of unformed cells known as "blasts." The blasts then develop into white blood cells that the body needs to fight off disease and infection. People with AML, the blasts do not develop normally and the number of abnormal cells grows quickly, severely limiting the body's ability to withstand invaders. Symptoms of AML include tiredness, fever, frequent infections, anemia, and excessive bleeding or slow healing.
Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)
The effects of myelodysplastic syndrome (formerly known as pre-leukemia) on the body are similar to those of AML. There are several types of MDS. Among these, the cases can be mild or severe and in extreme cases result in life expectancies as short as just a few months. Much is still not understood about this group of diseases and benzene exposure is just one of the known causes.
